SHRIMP AND CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and saute until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and mix well. Cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is blonde in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the broth gradually, stirring constantly. Stir in the whipping cream, milk, creamed corn and corn kernels.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and add to the pan. Add the liquid crab boil, then fold in half the green onions and simmer until the shrimp turn bright pink. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into soup bowls, then sprinkle with paprika and the remaining green onions.
• Blend together the granulated garlic, paprika, salt, cayenne, onion powder, black pepper, sugar, basil, celery seed and oregano in a bowl until combined. Store in an airtight jar for up to 6 months.

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.
