Capture the sweetness of fresh corn in this four-ingredient soup. Freeze portions for up to six months, then heat them straight from the freezer.
Prep: 20 minutes Total: 25 minutes
Ingredients
Serves 8
16 ears yellow corn
4 tablespoons butter, (cut into small pieces)
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Tortilla chips, (optional)
Lime wedges, (optional)
Scallions, sliced (optional)
Directions
Remove husks and silks from corn. Holding ears in a large bowl, slice off kernels (to yield about 10 cups). When slicing corn from cobs, work in a deep bowl to catch the kernels and any juices. In two batches, puree kernels and accumulated juices with a total of 2 cups water until chunky.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook pureed corn, butter, 4 cups water, and salt until butter is melted and soup is heated through, 5 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with tortilla chips, lime wedges, and sliced scallions, as desired. Or let cool, then freeze in individual servings; reheat over medium-low (or in microwave).
