Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the medium onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the fresh corn kernels to the pot. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the corn to soften.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth.

Step 8

Gradually add the almond milk mixture to the soup, stirring continuously.

Step 9

Increase the heat slightly and cook until the soup starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly.

Step 11

Using a handheld immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches in a regular blender.

Step 12

Once smooth, return the soup to the pot and reheat it over low heat.

Step 13

Season the soup with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to taste.

Step 14

Serve the soup hot, garnished with finely chopped fresh parsley.
