Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Garlic: Mince the garlic clove.
- Corn: Carefully cut and remove the kernels from the cobs. Set aside.
- Onion: Finely chop the onion.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the sweet corn kernels to the pot. Stir well to combine with the garlic and onion.
- Pour in the water and add the salt. Stir to mix.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the corn is tender and the flavors are well combined.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot, and blend until smooth.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Pour the blended soup into a large bowl or container.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the soup is thoroughly chilled.
- Once chilled, stir the soup and serve it in bowls.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for an extra touch.
Tips:
- Use fresh sweet corn for the best flavor. If fresh corn is not available, you can substitute with frozen corn, but the taste may not be as vibrant.
- For a smoother texture, blend the soup thoroughly and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining solids.
- Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving to ensure it is well-cooled and flavors are melded.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, or chives to add a burst of fresh flavor and a pop of color.
- Consider adding a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk for added creaminess and a richer texture.
This chilled sweet corn soup is not only easy to prepare but also a delightful addition to any meal. With its natural sweetness and creamy texture, it's a perfect dish to enjoy during the warmer months. Serve it garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of your favorite oil to enhance the flavor. Enjoy this light, refreshing soup and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills!
