Steps:
- Cut the corn: Hold an ear of corn upright with one end on the cutting board and the other in your non-cutting hand. Use a sharp knife to shave off the kernels in rows from the cob. Rotate the corn and cut close enough to the core so that the kernels remain relatively whole, but not so closely that you end up taking fibrous pieces of the cob with you. Repeat with all of the corn. Gather the kernels in a bowl and reserve the cobs.
- Start the soup: Combine half the olive oil and all the scallions with a generous pinch salt and 1/4 cup water in a large saute pan and cook over medium-low heat until they are translucent and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the corn: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same saute pan and add all the corn kernels. Season with salt, then stir in the brown sugar and a generous pinch black pepper. Cook over medium heat until the corn becomes tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Finish: Bring the half-and-half and 1 cup water to a gentle simmer in a medium pot over medium heat and add the cobs. Simmer the cobs gently on low heat until they impart their corn flavor to the half-and-half, 12 to 15 minutes. Discard the cobs. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir to combine. Add the cooked corn and scallions to the pot and simmer on low heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
- Puree half of the liquid and corn in the blender until smooth and pour back into the rest of the soup. Refrigerate until fully cold, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Serve: Whisk to blend so some of the remaining corn lands in each bowl as you serve the soup. Taste for seasoning. Ladle into the bowls.

CHILLED CORN SOUP WITH BASIL
No-cook, chilled blender soups are so quick to make it almost feels like cheating. This one stars sweet corn that's been tarted up with buttermilk and lime juice, spiced with garlic and scallion, and imbued with fresh herbs. While straining it isn't entirely necessary, it will give you a smoother, more elegant soup. But when it's too hot to breathe, let alone dig out the strainer, you have our permission to skip it. Serve this in espresso cups or shot glasses as an hors d'oeuvre, or in bowls as a first course.

Steps:
- Soup: Remove corn kernels from the cob by placing corn upright in a large, deep mixing bowl. Run a knife from top to bottom, all the way around, allowing the kernels to fall into the bowl. Repeat with remaining corn. (Note: Corn cobs may be discarded, or saved for another use such as corn stock.) Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and a pinch of salt. Cook shallots until lightly caramelized, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in corn and another pinch of salt; cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- Place melon on a flat work surface. Slice off top and bottom, and place upright. Remove rind by cutting along the edge of the melon from top to bottom; repeat all the way around until the rind is completely removed. Cut the melon in half, discard the seeds, then roughly chop; set aside 1 cup for garnish and place the rest in a large bowl.Cut away and discard tomato stems; chop tomatoes and add to the melon. Slice off the top and bottom of the pepper and discard the stem. Slice the pepper from top to bottom to open it up. Then "unroll" the pepper on the cutting surface; cut away the central core of seeds and discard. Chop the pepper and add to the melon and tomato; repeat with second pepper. Add 2 large pinches of salt and toss well. Stir in the corn mixture and refrigerate, 2 hours.
- Place chilled corn mixture into a blender. Cover and purée on high speed until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt as necessary. (Note: You'll need to do this in 2 batches.) Set soup aside while making the garnish.
- Garnish: Preheat broiler. Place corn on a rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place sheet 6 inches under the heat source and broil 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally to lightly char all sides. Meanwhile, in a bowl, add crab meat, cherry tomatoes, gooseberries (optional), reserved cantaloupe, lime zest and juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. (Note: Garnish in the video is for 1 serving; the written recipe is for 6 servings.) Mix gently to combine, keeping crab pieces whole. Chiffonade the basil: Roll leaves together like a cigar, then slice into thin strips. Add to the garnish. Remove corn from the oven; when cool enough to handle, cut off kernels as in Step 1. Add corn to the garnish and toss.
- Assembly: Divide garnish into 6 bowls. Slowly pour soup over half of the garnish for a dramatic presentation. Serve cold or at room temperature.
