SIMPLE SUMMER CORN SOUP
Steps:
- To a large saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Add potato, season with a little salt and pepper, and cover to steam for 4-5 minutes.
- Add most of the corn, reserving a little for garnish, and stir.
- NOTE: If you plan to blend the soup, I recommend (as suggested above) adding half broth, half milk for a creamier texture. But if you intend to leave it unblended, forgo the milk and do all vegetable broth (4 cups | 960 ml) for best texture/flavor.
- Add broth and almond milk (if using), cover, and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook until the potatoes are soft and slide off of a knife when pierced - about 5-10 minutes.
- If blending, add 3/4 of the soup to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. If using nutritional yeast, add now.
- Transfer soup back to the saucepan and bring back to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cook for at least 10 minutes to let thicken. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will be.
- To serve, top with chopped green onion, remaining fresh (or lightly sauteed) corn, and black pepper. Add a sprinkle of paprika for color.

SPICY CORN AND COCONUT SOUP
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.

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.

SMOKY CORN CHOWDER WITH COCONUT MILK
Using frozen corn means that this chowder can be made year-round, but feel free to use fresh corn when it's at its peak in late summer. The fresh kernels contain a delicious milky substance that will add flavor and help to thicken the soup. Smoked paprika gives this corn chowder a smoky flavor that's further accentuated by vibrant poblano chiles. Starchy russet potatoes work particularly well in this soup and help thicken it, however, any potato variety will work.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add the onions, poblano chiles and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the corn, potatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the chowder to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer one-third of the soup to a blender (see Cook's Note). Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.
- Pour the soup back into the pot and stir to combine. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with hot sauce if desired.

Steps:
- Melt coconut oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add onion, ginger, tumeric, and 1/2 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 8-10 minutes.
- Break corn cobs in half and add to pot along with corn kernels, potato, coconut milk, lime zest, and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until potato is tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Discard corn cobs and lime zest, then transfer soup to a blender. Add 1/2 tsp. salt and purée until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. Transfer to a large bowl and chill, covered, at least 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut flakes on a small rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate.
- Stir lime juice into soup and adjust seasonings, thinning with water, if needed. Divide soup among bowls, then top with toasted coconut, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
- Do Ahead
- Soup can be made 4 days ahead. Cover and chill.
Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but frozen or canned corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it before using.
- Use a variety of potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice because they are creamy and hold their shape well. Russet potatoes can also be used, but they may need to be boiled for a longer period of time. Red potatoes are also a good choice, but they may fall apart more easily.
- Use full-fat coconut milk. Full-fat coconut milk will give the soup a richer flavor and creamier texture. If you don't have full-fat coconut milk, you can use a combination of coconut milk and water.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin.
- Serve the soup hot. Corn, potato, and coconut milk soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Conclusion:
Corn, potato, and coconut milk soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a good way to use up leftover corn and potatoes. This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve it.
