  • Category: Soup
  • Method: Simmering
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or stock
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk or light cream (optional, for creaminess)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, celery, and carrots until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add diced potatoes and corn. Cook for 3–4 minutes to release sweetness.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender (or in batches in a regular blender) and return to the pot for natural creaminess.
  5. Stir in non-dairy milk or light cream, if using. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley or thyme.

Notes

  • Blend more soup for a smoother texture or leave chunky for a rustic version.
  • Add bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach for extra vegetables.
  • For smoky depth, stir in smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
  • White beans or chickpeas can be added for extra protein.
  • Best potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a creamy, firm bite.
