About Crema de elote

Crema de Elote, or Mexican Corn Cream Soup, is a comforting dish originating from Mexican cuisine. Made primarily with sweet corn, milk, cream, and butter, this velvety soup often includes sautéed onions, garlic, and a hint of spice from chili powder or paprika. Some recipes may incorporate chicken broth for added depth and cheese for extra richness. Crema de Elote is a hearty, flavorful dish that showcases the natural sweetness of corn, a nutritious ingredient high in fiber and essential vitamins like B-complex and antioxidants such as lutein. While the corn contributes positive health benefits, the cream and butter add significant fat and calories, making moderation key if consumed as part of a balanced diet. Enjoyed across generations, this classic comfort food can be prepared lighter by substituting cream with yogurt or reducing added fats while still preserving its delicious, rustic character.
