👩🍳 Preparation – step by step
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic. Fry until soft and golden brown 🧅.
Drain the sweetcorn well and then add it to the pan. Mix and let it cook down so the kernels absorb the flavors 🤩.
Pour in the coconut milk and stock. Add salt, pepper, and optionally a little curry or chili for a twist on the flavor 🔥. Bring to a simmer (not boiling), then reduce heat and cook for 7 to 8 minutes.
Blend the soup until smooth and creamy (using a blender or immersion blender). Adjust the seasoning if needed. For an ultra-smooth soup, don't hesitate to strain it!
Serve piping hot in bowls. Add a squeeze of lime, fresh herbs 🌿, a few reserved corn kernels, or spicy croutons for the finishing touch. Enjoy!
