So summer might be over, but I’m still trying to hold on to all the fresh fruit and vegetables that are available. There’s nothing like fresh veggies straight from the garden. I guess we could always move to somewhere warm year around, but I like having different seasons too much!
I made this soup with the last bit of fresh corn I had. It was really good and filling. The best part, its dairy free so I was able to enjoy it without any regrets! The original recipe was made using a Vitamix but since I don’t have one, I made it on the stove in a Dutch oven with no issues. You can also reduce the amount of corn if you don’t want as much corn kernels in the soup.
1 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup chopped yellow onion
6 ears of fresh corn, kernels removed
3 small yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed clean and cubed
2-4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup reduced-fat milk (I used almond milk)
1/3 cup silken tofu
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
chopped flat-leaf parsley
In a heavy-bottom sauce pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion and saute for 5 minutes or until the onion becomes soft. Add in half of the corn kernels, potato cubes and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.
Add in the milk and tofu to the soup. Puree with a hand blender until soup is creamy. Add in the remaining corn and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the corn is cooked through. Serve and garnish with chopped parsley.
