Mouthwatering and refreshing with a slight heat from adobo sauce and chili pepper, this Roasted Corn Gazpacho is perfect for a summer meal. Made with pan-roasted sweet corn and fresh summer vegetables, it is seasoned with lime juice, chili, salt and black pepper. Every spoonful of this cold soup offers a burst of flavor! Top with ripe avocados and lots of cilantro, and serve chilled.
Start with the corn. Slice the kernels from 1 ear of the corn off and pan-roast with olive oil and garlic until slightly charred. Add the roasted corn (reserve 2 cups for serving) to a high-speed blender, along with onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, cucumbers, lime juice, chili and seasoning. You can use either yellow cherry tomatoes or 3 large tomatoes. Blend until almost smooth. To serve, stir in the remaining corn and chopped cilantro. Garnish with diced avocados and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
To make the Roasted Corn Gazpacho, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large stainless steel pan or cast iron pan on medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and add 3 cups sweet corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred.
Add 5 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a food processor, combine about 1 cup of the roasted corn, 2 pints yellow cherry tomatoes, 1 cup chopped cucumbers, 4 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon adobo sauce, 1 chopped chili, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper.
Blend until almost smooth.
In a soup tureen, add the blended tomato-corn mixture, the remaining 2 cups of roasted corn, and ¼ cup chopped cilantro and stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
To serve, divide among the bowls and top with diced avocado and more cilantro.
