Recipe Summary

- Servings: 4-6
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn, kernels removed
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and corn kernels to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.
- Pour in the broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a standing blender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through, about 5 more minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each with a sprinkle of fresh chives and an extra dash of black pepper.
Helpful Tips
- For a Chunkier Texture: Reserve some of the potato and corn mixture before blending and stir it back in after pureeing.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream.
- Storage Instructions: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
