This recipe creates a deeply satisfying, creamy corn soup that feels like the ultimate comfort food. It focuses on fresh sweet corn flavor and comes together quickly for a warm, delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 large potato, peeled and diced (optional, for thickness)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the corn kernels, diced potato (if using), and broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until mostly smooth. If you prefer a very smooth texture, transfer batches to a standard blender, being careful with hot liquids.
  5. Return the soup to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat through gently; do not boil after adding the cream.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use the cobs from fresh corn to simmer in the broth before removing them.
  • To achieve a restaurant-style texture without heavy cream, substitute the cream with 1/2 cup of soaked and blended raw cashews.
  • This soup pairs well with crusty bread for dipping or a simple side salad.
