Ingredients
- 3 cups (kernels) fresh sweet corn (about 4 ears)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the corn by shucking it and slicing the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, measure out 3 cups and allow it to thaw.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and turmeric to the pot, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the corn kernels and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the corn to soften further.
Step 6
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Step 7
Stir in the heavy cream, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 8
Simmer the soup for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through, being careful not to boil the cream.
Step 9
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a vibrant touch of color and freshness.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, golden flavors of this creamy corn soup.
