Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices bacon (about 6 ounces)
1 small yellow onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 5 to 6 ears)
1/2 cup sour cream
4 slices rustic country bread
4 ounces hard, sharp cheese, such as manchego, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • In a large straight-sided skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, turning once, until crisp, 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt to skillet; cook, stirring, 8 minutes. Stir in 4 cups corn, then 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender and most of liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in 1 1/2 cups ice water and sour cream. Blend corn mixture (in two batches, if necessary) until smooth. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cold, 45 minutes.
  • Toast bread. Top with cheese, tomatoes, and bacon; season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with remaining 1/2 cup corn, more pepper, and drizzles of oil; serve.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used canned corn and it still turned out great.

I'm not usually a fan of corn soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The soup was so flavorful and the toasts were the perfect accompaniment.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover corn. I had some leftover from a cookout and this was the perfect recipe to use it up.

So easy to make and so delicious! I used fresh corn from my garden and it was perfect. The bacon toasts were the perfect finishing touch.

This corn soup with tomato bacon toasts was a hit! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the toasts added a nice crunch and smokiness. I will definitely be making this again.
