CREAMY CORN SOUP WITH BASIL
This soup is divine when made with freshly picked sweet summer corn. There is no cream or dairy: The creaminess comes from thoroughly whizzing the corn. For the creamiest texture, pass the puréed soup through a fine-mesh sieve.

Steps:
- Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to look wavy, add the onions and season well with salt and pepper.
- Let onions cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes, then turn heat to medium and continue cooking until onions are quite soft, about 15 minutes more.
- Add the garlic and corn kernels, and stir to combine. Add 6 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Taste the resulting broth and adjust salt to taste. (It should be well seasoned.) Cook for about another 10 to 15 minutes, until the kernels are tender. Stir in squash blossoms, if using, and turn off heat.
- Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender. Pass the puréed soup through a fine-mesh strainer and into a large bowl, pushing down to press all the liquid out. Discard the fibrous debris left behind.
- Check consistency and seasoning, and adjust as needed. (Add a bit more water if the soup seems too thick.) The soup can be made up to a few hours ahead up to this point, and tastes best the day it's made. Reheat, if needed, before serving.
- To serve, ladle into individual bowls. Drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil over each serving. Quickly chop the basil, and sprinkle over to finish.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen corn: Fresh corn on the cob is the best choice for this soup, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using.
- Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn will lose its sweetness and flavor. Cook it just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality chicken broth: The flavor of the chicken broth will make a big difference in the soup. Use a broth that is made with real chicken, not just water and flavoring.
- Add your favorite seasonings: Feel free to add your favorite seasonings to the soup, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Cream of corn soup can be served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, bacon bits, shredded cheese, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Cream of corn soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It can be made with fresh or frozen corn, and can be customized to your liking with a variety of seasonings and toppings. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give cream of corn soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
