Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh sweet corn (kernels only, about 3 ears of corn)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (canned)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sweet corn kernels to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to absorb the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Transfer about 2/3 of the soup mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids—blend in batches if necessary.
Return the blended portion to the pot with the remaining chunky soup, mixing well to combine.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the coconut milk. Let the soup simmer gently for another 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
