Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the fresh or frozen corn kernels to the pot, and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and keep some corn kernels whole.
Return the pot to the stove over low heat, and stir in the coconut milk, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Just before serving, stir in the lime juice to add a touch of brightness.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
