Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (cooked and cooled)
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk or plain yogurt
- 1 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1 clove garlic (raw or roasted)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional garnishes: chopped basil, chives, or cilantro; avocado slices; diced cucumber; red pepper flakes or smoked paprika; swirl of yogurt or drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
- Place corn, coconut milk or yogurt, vegetable broth, garlic, and citrus juice in a blender.
- Blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add more broth if a thinner consistency is desired.
- Optional: Strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
- Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve cold with desired garnishes like herbs, olive oil, or corn kernels.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen corn — just ensure it’s cooked and cooled.
- Straining the soup makes it extra silky, but it’s optional.
- Customize with herbs, spices, or creamy add-ins like avocado or tahini.
- Great served in small glasses for parties or as a simple lunch.
