Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups sweet corn, kernels cut off cob or frozen corn
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 large ripe avocados
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons chili powder (optional for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 slices sliced bread
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter (for spreading on bread)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced yellow onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sweet corn kernels to the pot and sauté for 2–3 minutes, allowing them to slightly caramelize.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy.

Step 7

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the soup. Blend the soup again until the avocado is fully incorporated and the soup is velvety smooth.

Step 8

Stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

To make the cheesy toasts, preheat the broiler on your oven. Butter one side of each bread slice and place them on a baking sheet, buttered side up.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the bread slices.

Step 11

Place the baking sheet under the broiler and toast until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 2–4 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 12

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with a pinch of chili powder and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 13

Serve the warm Corn Avocado Soup with the cheesy toasts on the side. Enjoy!
