Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ears corn, husks and silk removed
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium shallots, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 red bell pepper, diced small
4 scallions (white and light-green parts only), thinly sliced
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves or cilantro flowers (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Cut off tips of corn and stand in a wide shallow bowl. With a sharp knife, cut kernels off cobs. Place cobs in a large pot, along with milk and 6 cups water; bring to a boil over high. Reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid is slightly reduced, 15 minutes. Discard cobs.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high. Add shallots and garlic; cook until soft and translucent, 2 minutes. Add corn kernels and cook until crisp-tender, 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer corn to pot with milk mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until corn is soft, 15 minutes.
  • In batches, fill blender halfway with soup and puree until smooth. (Use caution when blending hot liquids: Remove cap from lid and cover opening with a dish towel.) Pour liquid through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Season soup with salt and pepper and refrigerate until cool, 1 hour (or, covered, up to overnight). Divide chilled soup among bowls and top with bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro.

I'm not usually a fan of corn soup, but this recipe changed my mind! The addition of roasted red peppers and fresh basil really elevated the flavor. I served it chilled, as suggested, and it was the perfect summer soup.
