Super Sweet Corn Soup- 2 Super Sweet Corns
- 1 Potato
- 1 Onion
- 250ml Water
- 300ml Milk
- 200ml Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Salt
- A little Parsley (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables for the soup. Peel the onion and potato, then slice them thinly. Since we’ll be blending them later, it’s important to slice them uniformly thin, so don’t worry too much about the shape. Thin slicing helps them cook faster, reducing your cooking time.
Step 2
In a pot, melt a knob of butter over medium-low heat and sauté the thinly sliced onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and releases its sweet aroma. Sautéing the onion thoroughly will deepen the flavor profile of your soup.
Step 3
Once the onion is softened, add the sliced potato to the pot and sauté them together. To prevent sticking, add a small amount of water as needed while stirring and sautéing. This step caramelizes the vegetables, enhancing the soup’s base with a richer flavor.
Step 4
Now, prepare the star ingredient: the super sweet corn. Carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Hold the cob upright and use a sharp knife to slice downwards, angling the blade towards the cob to efficiently remove the kernels.
Step 5
When the potatoes are almost tender, add the corn kernels to the pot and sauté for another 1-2 minutes with the vegetables. The sweet aroma of the corn will begin to release, harmonizing with the other ingredients.
Step 6
It’s time to add the liquids. Pour in 250ml of water, 300ml of milk, and 200ml of heavy cream into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to balance the flavors and stir everything together well.
Step 7
Once all ingredients are combined, bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to ensure the vegetables are fully cooked. Then, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to purée the mixture until smooth. For an extra silky texture, you can strain the puréed soup through a fine-mesh sieve for a more refined finish.
Step 8
Return the smoothly blended soup to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to scorch the bottom of the pot. Simmer gently until the soup thickens slightly, and your delicious super sweet corn soup is ready.
Step 9
Ladle the warm, freshly made corn soup into serving bowls. This soup pairs wonderfully with freshly baked bread rolls or a dollop of jam for a satisfying light meal. The creamy texture and the slight sweetness of the soup complement the bread beautifully.
Step 10
Garnish your corn soup with a few reserved corn kernels and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. The vibrant yellow color of the soup is visually appealing, and the rich, sweet aroma is incredibly inviting. It’s a beautiful presentation that enhances the dining experience.
Step 11
And there you have it – a wonderfully creamy and sweet super sweet corn soup! This recipe is a fantastic way to use seasonal super sweet corn to create something special at home. Give it a try, and you’ll be delighted by how it melts in your mouth with its sweet and savory notes. Enjoy a comforting and delicious meal with this bowl of sunshine! ^^
