CREAMY CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Combine onion, celery, butter, and garlic in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until onion softens, about 4 minutes.
• Add flour and thyme. Cook 1 minute more. Stir in corn and potatoes.
• Add broth, cream, salt, and pepper. Simmer 15-20 minutes uncovered or until potatoes are tender.
• Garnish with chives and serve warm.

CORN SOUP WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Cut the kernels off 6 ears of the corn, transfer to a medium bowl and then, working over the bowl, run the back of a chef?s knife down the cobs to extract all the juices and pulp from the corn.
• Melt the butter in a large wide pot or medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sugar, garlic, shallot, jalapeno, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the corn kernels and juices and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is softened and well coated, about 5 minutes more. Add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf and 6 cups water. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the kernels off the remaining 2 ears of corn and set aside. Discard the thyme and bay leaf from the soup and then carefully puree in batches in a blender (or in the pot with an immersion blender) until creamy, taking care not to fill the blender more than half full per batch.
• Return the soup to the pot, add the reserved corn kernels and simmer over medium heat until the corn is tender, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Divide the soup among 4 bowls and top with the mixed herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

CREAM OF CORN SOUP

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.

SPICY CORN AND COCONUT SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
• In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
• Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
• Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

CREAMY CORN SOUP WITH BASIL

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.

HERBED CREAM OF CORN SOUP

Steps:

• In a blender blend the corn, the broth, the scallion, and the thyme until the mixture is smooth. Strain the mixture through a sieve set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids, discard the solids, and stir in the half-and-half and the parsley. Season the soup with salt and pepper and chill it, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is cold.
