Steps:
- Roast the Corn for the Guacamole
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Put the corn kernels on the baking sheet and toss with the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste. Spread the corn out evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until the corn turns a golden brown. It may seem that you have left the corn in the oven for too long, but you want the corn to caramelize and get a little crunchy. Remove the corn from the oven and set aside.
- Prepare the Corn for the Soup
- Put the kernels (fresh or frozen and defrosted) in a blender.
- Combine the oil and the garlic in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the blender and puree until smooth. (You may need to pulse or stir the corn mixture in order to achieve a smooth consistency, but do not add any more liquid.)
- Simmer the Soup
- Pour the corn puree into the soup pot and place over medium heat. Stir constantly for a few minutes, until the soup begins to thicken. Slowly whisk or stir in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Finish the Roasted Corn Guacamole
- In a bowl, combine the roasted corn, red onion, cilantro, lime zest and juice, and jalapeño. Gently stir in the avocado. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve and Garnish
- Ladle the soup into soup bowls. Place a generous spoonful of the guacamole in the center of each bowl. Garnish with a small sprig of cilantro placed in the center of each.
Tips:
- For the freshest flavor, use sweet corn that is in season. Look for ears with tightly packed, plump kernels and bright green husks.
- If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to drain and rinse the corn before using.
- To roast the corn, you can use a grill, oven, or stovetop. If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the corn is roasted, let it cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.
- To make the guacamole, simply mash the avocados with a fork or spoon until smooth. Add the roasted corn, diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- To serve, ladle the corn soup into bowls and top with a dollop of guacamole.
Conclusion:
This fresh corn soup with roasted corn guacamole is a delicious and easy-to-make summer soup. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover corn. The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the roasted corn guacamole adds a smoky, savory flavor that takes it to the next level.
