Mexican Street Corn Soup

Print Recipe

A comforting and creamy soup inspired by the flavors of Mexican street corn, featuring sweet corn, spices, and lime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
  • Cotija cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Veggies: Start by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re soft and translucent. Then throw in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  3. Add the Corn: Toss in your corn and stir to let it warm up and begin to caramelize.
  4. Pour in the Broth: Now, add the vegetable (or chicken) broth to your pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Season It Up: Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Blend It Smooth or Chunky: Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender to puree or use an immersion blender for texture.
  7. Make It Creamy: Stir in heavy cream (or coconut milk) and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Serve It Up: Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, cotija cheese, and fresh lime juice.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider serving with tortilla chips or a drizzle of spicy crema.
