Cool down on a hot summer day with a refreshing bowl of Chilled Corn Soup with Herbed Chicken. This soup is incredibly flavorful, yet light and healthy. The combination of sweet corn, savory herbs, and tender chicken is simply irresistible.
Our collection of recipes in this article offers two variations of this delightful soup. The first recipe is a classic chilled corn soup, featuring a creamy texture and a burst of corn flavor. The second recipe adds a unique twist with herbed chicken, creating a more savory and protein-packed dish.
Both recipes are easy to follow and require minimal prep time. You'll start by simmering corn kernels in a flavorful broth until tender, then puree the mixture until smooth. For the herbed chicken variation, you'll also poach chicken breasts in a mixture of herbs and spices.
Once the soup is pureed, you'll chill it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to develop and meld together. When you're ready to serve, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, croutons, or a dollop of sour cream.
Whether you prefer a classic chilled corn soup or a more savory herbed chicken version, you're sure to love this refreshing and flavorful dish. So gather your ingredients and let's get cooking!

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken, water, onions, celery, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 2 hours, adding water as needed, until chicken is very tender. Remove the chicken from the soup. Refrigerate chicken and soup.
- When fat solidifies on surface of soup, remove from refrigerator and remove fat. Remaining soup should equal about 2 1/2 quarts.
- Remove corn from cobs by splitting kernels lengthwise with a sharp knife and scraping corn from cob. Combine soup and corn in a large pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until corn is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place two of the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop. Set aside.
- Chop cooled chicken meat and add to soup.
- In a medium bowl, beat remaining egg until light in color. Beat in flour and milk until smooth. Drop batter by partial spoonfuls into hot broth to make small (1/4 -1/2 inch round) dumplings. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 5 minutes, until dumplings hold their shape and float to the surface. Stir in reserved cooked egg.

Steps:
- Cut the kernels of corn from the cobs. Reserve the cobs.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot and over medium-low heat. Add the corn, garlic and onions. Sweat until the corn is slightly brown and the onions are translucent.
- Carefully add the cobs and fill the pot with water until the corn is covered. Raise the heat and boil for 30 minutes.
- Remove the corn from the heat and allow to cool. Then chill for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
- Remove the cobs with tongs, and use an immersion blender to blend the corn and onions. This is the soup base. To this add the coconut milk and blend again. Separate the soup base into the desired portions for adults and kids. Season the adult version with salt, lime juice and chipotle adobo... this stuff is hot, so do as much or as little as you want.
- For the kids, season the soup with salt and serve cold, garnished with caramel corn.
- Serve the soup cold, garnished with a few pieces of honeydew melon.

Steps:
- Cut the corn: Hold an ear of corn upright with one end on the cutting board and the other in your non-cutting hand. Use a sharp knife to shave off the kernels in rows from the cob. Rotate the corn and cut close enough to the core so that the kernels remain relatively whole, but not so closely that you end up taking fibrous pieces of the cob with you. Repeat with all of the corn. Gather the kernels in a bowl and reserve the cobs.
- Start the soup: Combine half the olive oil and all the scallions with a generous pinch salt and 1/4 cup water in a large saute pan and cook over medium-low heat until they are translucent and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the corn: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same saute pan and add all the corn kernels. Season with salt, then stir in the brown sugar and a generous pinch black pepper. Cook over medium heat until the corn becomes tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Finish: Bring the half-and-half and 1 cup water to a gentle simmer in a medium pot over medium heat and add the cobs. Simmer the cobs gently on low heat until they impart their corn flavor to the half-and-half, 12 to 15 minutes. Discard the cobs. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir to combine. Add the cooked corn and scallions to the pot and simmer on low heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
- Puree half of the liquid and corn in the blender until smooth and pour back into the rest of the soup. Refrigerate until fully cold, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Serve: Whisk to blend so some of the remaining corn lands in each bowl as you serve the soup. Taste for seasoning. Ladle into the bowls.
CHILLED SUMMER CORN SOUP
Corn and buttermilk are a match made in heaven -- the sweetness of corn and the tangy zip of buttermilk are perfect together in cornbread, but in this recipe, there's no cooking required! This is a recipe for the freshest corn on those hot summer days when you can't be bothered to turn on the stove, but be sure to freeze the cobs to use for your homemade stock when the weather cools off. You'll love that little pop of fresh corn flavor on a chilly day!

Steps:
- For the soup: Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic, scallions and thyme leaves in a medium bowl and set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Hold an ear of corn flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp chef's knife, slice the kernels off the cob. Continue rotating the cob and slicing until all the kernels are cut off. Repeat with the remaining cobs. You should have 3 1/2 to 4 cups of kernels. (You can freeze the cobs for corn stock later).
- In a blender, combine the buttermilk mixture, corn kernels, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the solids. Check the seasoning, and adjust with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- For the garnish: In a small bowl, toss the tomatoes with the scallions, parsley leaves and stems, thyme leaves, garlic and lemon juice. Season with salt.
- Divide the soup among 6 serving bowls. Top with the tomato mixture, drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
PA DUTCH CHICKEN CORN SOUP
Chicken corn soup has a light sweetness from the corn and a savoriness from the chicken. This particular recipe has a rich broth mixed with a variety of herbs and is cooked low and slow for several hours. The outcome is a flavorful, comforting bowl of soup.

Steps:
- 1. Boil chickens, celery stalks, carrots, and onion, some kosher salt & pepper in a stockpot with enough water to cover both. I add about 1 tsp of curry & some chicken bouillon at this point because I like a hearty broth.
- 2. When chicken is cooked, remove chicken & refrigerate separately.
- 3. Let broth cool down a bit to room temperature. Discard celery and onion. Refrigerate broth overnight.
- 4. Next day, skim fat from top of broth.
- 5. Heat broth over medium heat.
- 6. Add chicken bouillon and cans of chicken broth. Heat to almost a boil.
- 7. Remove skin and bones from chickens. Pick off meat in large chunks.
- 8. Add chicken to the broth.
- 9. Add a few pinches of saffron and nutmeg (optional). I also like to add some Hungarian paprika, dill, a bay leaf, a dash of onion powder, a dash of garlic powder, and a little celery seed.
- 10. Add cans of corn. I drain all the cans of corn but one and add the corn juice to the soup. (NOTE: Most people use fresh corn on the cob or frozen corn for their chicken corn soup. I prefer the cans, just because I think it's better flavor.)
- 11. Add more salt & pepper to taste. Let cook for about an hour and check taste again. This normally is where I will add more water if necessary, more chicken bouillon, salt, etc.
- 12. Cut up hard-boiled eggs into bite-size pieces. Add to the pot.
- 13. Continue cooking and add some fresh parsley snipped in small flakes. Once you are happy with the flavor, bring to a low boil and begin to prepare the rivels. My favorite part of chicken corn soup!!!
- 14. Mix the flour, beaten egg, and milk well. I add a few teaspoons of the broth, too, just for flavor.
- 15. Once it is very well blended, drop by very teeny balls into the soup. (Make sure broth is boiling). I take a fork & just let the rival batter fall off. They are not supposed to be pretty, so don't worry about rolling them or making them uniform! They will be a mishmash of yumminess. Don't make the mistake of getting lazy and making the rivals too large or they won't cook well. You can add some broken thin noodles instead if you want to skip this step.
- 16. Continue stirring over boil for about 10/15 mins. The rivels should have a dough texture. I taste again, add more salt & pepper as needed, and another chicken bouillon, if necessary.
- 17. Add fresh chopped parsley. Stir & serve.
- 18. ENJOY!!! This is everyone's favorite soup in Central PA!

CHILLED CORN SOUP WITH BASIL
No-cook, chilled blender soups are so quick to make it almost feels like cheating. This one stars sweet corn that's been tarted up with buttermilk and lime juice, spiced with garlic and scallion, and imbued with fresh herbs. While straining it isn't entirely necessary, it will give you a smoother, more elegant soup. But when it's too hot to breathe, let alone dig out the strainer, you have our permission to skip it. Serve this in espresso cups or shot glasses as an hors d'oeuvre, or in bowls as a first course.

CHILLED CORN SOUP WITH HERBED CHICKEN
Yield Makes about 9 cups of soup and chicken, serving 4 as a main course
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- In a deep skillet or saucepan simmer chicken in broth, covered, turning it once, 10 minutes and remove skillet or pan from heat. Let chicken stand in broth, covered, 20 minutes, or until just cooked through, and cool, uncovered. Chill mixture, covered, at least until cold, about 6 hours, and up to 1 day. Drain chicken and shred into a bowl. Add dill, chives, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine well.
- Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. In a 4-quart saucepan simmer water, potatoes, corn, reserved cobs, and cumin, partially covered, until potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes, and cool. Discard cobs and in a blender purée half of corn mixture in batches until smooth, transferring to a bowl. Stir in remaining corn mixture, cayenne, and salt to taste. Chill soup, covered, at least until cold, about 6 hours, and up to 1 day. Before serving, thin soup with ice water if desired and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Divide soup among 4 bowls and mound chicken in center.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Roast the corn before making the soup. This will give it a deeper, more complex flavor.
- Use a high-quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
- Add some herbs to the soup for extra flavor. Fresh thyme, rosemary, or basil are all good choices.
- Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature. It's also great as a cold soup on a hot day.
