Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery stalk, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the celery is softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it is fragrant.
Stir in the corn kernels, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious of the hot liquid.
Return the soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender) and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through, but do not allow the soup to boil.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
