Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 unit medium onion, finely chopped

• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Shuck the corn and remove the kernels using a sharp knife. You should have about 3 cups of kernels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, until the corn is tender.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and carefully blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches, blending until smooth and then returning it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Reheat the soup gently over low heat if needed, but do not let it boil.
