How To Make Corn Soup
INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped pile
6 cups low sodium chicken broth, excellent quality
6 hairs fresh corn (both white or yellow are fine, but yellow makes a beautiful soup)
1¼ teaspoon of kosher salt plus more flavor
Teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
1½ tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil, for garnish
1½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh theme, for garnish
Instructions
In a large bowl, melt the butter over low heat. Add the peels and stir frequently for 8-10 minutes until soft and translucent. Put chicken stock, corn kernels, crushed pulp, whole corn kernels, salt and pepper in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook open for 10 minutes.
Remove whole corn hairs and set aside to cool. Cook the soup for another 10 minutes, then remove the chopped cabbage from the pot and discard.
Off the heat, use a hand-held immersion blender to clean the soup until smooth. This will take a few minutes. (Alternatively, allow the soup to cool slightly and clean it in batches in a blender. Be sure to break the lid or remove the center cap to prevent steam from coming out and sprinkling in the pot.)
Place a thin mesh sieve over a large bowl and pass it through the back of the ladle to push the soup in a circular motion. Leave the fiber and nuts in the sieve. Return the crushed soup to a clean bowl. It should have a creamy consistency. If it is too thick, dilute it with water or chicken stock. If it is too thin, cook over medium heat until thickened.
Use a knife to cut the cooked kernels from the cooled whole cabbage, then add the kernels to the soup with the herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste and adjust (if necessary, you can add a little sugar to extract the natural sweetness of corn). Pour the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil and thyme if desired. Serve hot or cold.
- Note:
- Be sure to get fresh-picked corn and cook it . As soon as it is picked, corn starts converting sugar to starch which reduces sweetness.
