Creamy Corn Soup

Posted by Adina Steiman

Freshly boiled corn on the cob, perhaps with a golden pat of butter melting over the top, is my idea of paradise. But sometimes I get a little too excited at the farm stand and buy way too much corn -- and I need to find other ways to cook up the crop.

Yesterday has some amazing corn ideas from a bunch of you, so I'm going to check them out. If I'm in the mood to be strategic in the kitchen, I might make this special, simple soup, which makes a big batch (half to freeze, half to enjoy right away) from just corn, water, butter, and salt.  How easy is that?

Do you have an amazingly simple blender soup to share?

PREP: 20 minutes
TOTAL: 25 minutes

I made this last night. Sort of. I used this recipe as a launching point. I sauted some onions, garlic, mild chili pepper, added some spices, then pured the whole soup together until creamy and delicious. It was wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration. And to anyone making this, try not to skip the chips, they provide an amazing textural contrast to the smooth soup.

Here's some photos and my comments on the soup:
