1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus more, for serving

SPICY CORN AND COCONUT SOUP



Spicy Corn and Coconut Soup image

A good corn soup is creamy and naturally sweet; an even better corn soup is spicy, refreshing and addictive. In this recipe, it's the combination of shallots, garlic, ginger, chiles and coconut milk, rather than heavy cream or butter, that makes the soup at once cooling and rich. It's a dinner in a bowl (and a vegan one at that), but it would surely welcome a side of steamed rice or salad of leafy greens. To serve, add garnishes that are any combination of spicy (extra fresh chile or store-bought chile oil), crunchy (toasted coconut, chopped peanuts or cashews, fried shallots) or fresh (torn cilantro, chopped scallions), and it'll be even more dynamic.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 ears yellow or bicolor corn (or 5 cups frozen corn kernels)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced into rings
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and minced
1 serrano chile (or other chile), minced
2 small red potatoes (6 to 8 ounces total), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth (or 2 1/2 cups of hot water whisked with 1 1/2 teaspoons jarred bouillon)
1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon lime juice (from 1/2 lime)
Kosher salt, to season
Torn cilantro leaves, toasted coconut flakes, chopped roasted peanuts, crispy fried shallots, lime wedges and more sliced Serrano chiles, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
  • In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
  • Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
  • Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 serrano chile or jalapeño, thinly sliced
1 (3") piece fresh ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for serving
½ tsp. ground turmeric
4 ears of corn, shucked, kernels removed
1 cup cooked grains (such as freekeh, farro, or quinoa)
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
4 Tbsp. store-bought crispy onions or shallots (such as Lars Own, French's, or Maesri)
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Cook chile, ginger, garlic, and 2 sliced scallions, tossing, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add turmeric and cook, stirring frequently, just until darkened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add corn and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, tossing occasionally, until corn is beginning to lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add grains to skillet and cook, tossing often, until heated through and beginning to crisp around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add ½ cup coconut milk; season with salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, adding 1-2 Tbsp. water if needed to loosen, until flavors have come together, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide corn mixture between plates or shallow bowls and drizzle with more coconut milk. Top with crispy onions and more scallion. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 or 6 ears fresh sweet corn (to make 3 to 4 cups kernels)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/3 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh coriander leaves

Steps:

  • Husk the corn and remove the silk. Stand each ear upright in a shallow bowl, and cut the kernels off with a sharp knife. With the back of the knife, scrape the cob down to press out the milk. Set aside.
  • Rub the bottom of a saute pan with the oil, and place over medium heat. Add the cumin and onion, and saute until the onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add corn kernels with their milk, the ginger and the coconut milk. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne. Heat until simmering; add coriander, and mix well. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh or frozen corn. Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn is a good option if fresh corn is not available.
  • Use a variety of grains. This recipe calls for quinoa, but you can use other grains, such as rice, barley, or farro.
  • Add vegetables. This recipe calls for bell pepper and onion, but you can add other vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or spinach.
  • Use a creamy coconut milk. This will give the dish a rich and creamy flavor.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Coconut Creamed Corn and Grains is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a healthy dish that is packed with vegetables and whole grains. This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn.
