Quick Creamy Corn Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Saute corn and shallots in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth and cream, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
• Remove 6 tablespoons of corn from the soup and set aside.
• Puree the soup in an electric blender or by using an immersion blender; pass through a sieve back into the pot.
• Season soup with cayenne pepper and sea salt. Add the reserved corn kernels back to the soup and bring to a boil again briefly.
• Divide the soup among four bowls and drizzle with chili oil.

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.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large stockpot over moderate heat. Saute the onions until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander, cumin and jalapeno pepper and saute another 2 minutes to release the aromas. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are juicy. Add the potatoes, bell pepper, salt and pepper, and stock. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and heat through another 2 minutes.
• In a blender, puree half of the soup with the milk and cheese. Stir the puree back into the soup pot. Adjust seasoning. Heat slowly until soup is warmed through and serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, sautee the onion until translucent. Add one can of drained corn and the milk to the onion. Bring very slowly to just below a boil, stirring contantly. Cover, adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Or use a stick blender right in the pot. Return to heat. Stir in remaining corn, chiles, and pimiento. Reheat gently; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like more heat.
• Additions: Add cooked, diced potatoes for corn chowder.
• Add a can of rinsed and drained black beans for a bean and corn soup.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute the bacon and onions together until onions are tender, about 7 minutes. Add the corn, potatoes, soup, milk, and salt and pepper. Raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 25 to 35 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the cream style corn and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. In a small bowl or cup, mix together the cornstarch and water; pour into the boiling corn soup, and continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until thickened. Gradually add the beaten egg while stirring the soup. Remove from heat and serve.
