Best 4 Corn Potato And Coconut Milk Soup Recipes

SPICY CORN AND COCONUT SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
• In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
• Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
• Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

POTATOES AND CORN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, place the potatoes, celery and leaves, and onion. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Remove the celery leaves, and stir in the bouillon cubes until dissolved. Mix in the corn. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• Mix the chives into the pot, and continue cooking 5 minutes before serving.

SMOKY CORN CHOWDER WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add the onions, poblano chiles and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the corn, potatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bring the chowder to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer one-third of the soup to a blender (see Cook's Note). Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.
• Pour the soup back into the pot and stir to combine. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with hot sauce if desired.

CHILLED COCONUT CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Melt coconut oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add onion, ginger, tumeric, and 1/2 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 8-10 minutes.
• Break corn cobs in half and add to pot along with corn kernels, potato, coconut milk, lime zest, and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until potato is tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Discard corn cobs and lime zest, then transfer soup to a blender. Add 1/2 tsp. salt and purée until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. Transfer to a large bowl and chill, covered, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut flakes on a small rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Stir lime juice into soup and adjust seasonings, thinning with water, if needed. Divide soup among bowls, then top with toasted coconut, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
