Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Fresh or frozen corn kernels
• 3 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh or frozen corn kernels to the pot, and sauté for 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and keep some corn kernels whole.

Step 9

Return the pot to the stove over low heat, and stir in the coconut milk, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 10

Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

Just before serving, stir in the lime juice to add a touch of brightness.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
