Cook up as much of this as you can while fresh corn is in season. Pair with a side of fresh blueberries for a flavor combo that will amaze your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 6 ears fresh corn
- 2 Tbsp. canola oil
- 1 small sweet onion, diced
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper
- ½ cup plain, low-fat buttermilk
- 2 Tbsp. tapioca starch
Directions
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and set aside. Place cobs in a deep stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook the stock (45 minutes). Strain through a fine mesh sieve and discard the cobs. Add water as needed to reach 5 cups of corn stock.
- Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Add onions and cook until transparent (about 5 minutes).
- Add corn kernels, garlic, salt and pepper, and sauté (2 minutes).
- Add the corn stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer (25 minutes).
- Puree soup with an immersion blender. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and transfer back into the pan. Return to medium-low to medium heat and whisk in the buttermilk.
- In a small dish, whisk the tapioca starch with 3 tablespoons water until smooth. Stir the tapioca slurry into the soup and cook until just slightly thickened and warm.
