Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Corn Soup with Shallots.
Step 1
Begin by warming olive oil in a spacious pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Introduce minced shallots and corn, sautéing them until the shallots become tender, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, pour in vegetable broth and heavy cream, then lower the heat to let the mixture simmer gently for twenty minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize beautifully.
Step 4
After the simmering time, set aside six tablespoons of corn for garnish.
Step 5
Blend the soup until velvety smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender—if opting for the latter, allow the soup to cool slightly to prevent splattering.
Step 6
For an ultra-smooth finish, strain the pureed soup through a sieve back into the pot.
Step 7
Season generously with cayenne pepper and sea salt, then fold in the reserved corn kernels, warming everything through.
Step 8
Finally, ladle the soup into bowls and finish with a drizzle of chili oil for a touch of heat and elegance before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy this comforting bowl of goodness that warms both the heart and soul.
