Easy 5-Ingredient Corn Soup
This light and Easy 5-Ingredient Corn Soup recipe takes full advantage of fresh summer corn and delivers a bowl of delicious homemade soup in less than half an hour. As the name suggests, this soup is made with only 5 simple ingredients, plus salt and black pepper. Serve the soup in bowls drizzled with nutty browned butter on top, sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of fresh basil if you wish.
This summery corn soup is pretty easy to make. Simply shuck the corn and slice the kernels off the cob. Reserve the cobs to make a cob stock. Next, sauté the corn kernels in butter. Add the water, reserved corn cobs, and potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are nice and tender. Discard the cobs and partially blend the soup. Add in some cayenne pepper to give your corn soup a bit more zing. Finally, brown some butter. Throw the sesame seeds into the hot browned butter and cook them gently for a minute. Browned butter and sesame seeds add toasty, nutty notes, making this delicious soup even more flavorful.
