Sitting down to enjoy a bowl of corn soup will transport you right back to summer, no matter the time of year. Our light, refreshing and slightly sweet soup is a winner from all angles because it comes together quickly, won’t break the bank and, most importantly, will be loved by the whole family. Plus, it’s packed with corn, potatoes, onion and carrots, so everyone can get their veggies in.<\/p>\n
In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot and potatoes and cook them until they’re tender, about five to seven minutes. Stir in three cups of corn, plus the crushed garlic, salt, pepper and cayenne, and cook for one more minute. Stir in the chicken broth and milk and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, until the corn has softened.<\/p>\n
Remove the soup from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Process the soup in batches in a blender until it’s very smooth. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the remaining 3 cups of corn. Cook until the corn is tender, six to eight minutes longer, then remove the soup from the heat. Finish by stirring in the lemon juice and chives.<\/p>\n This soup stores really well, and is going to be even better on day two. It should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.<\/p>\n Corn soup will last for up to four days in the fridge or up to four months in the freezer.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze corn soup, but be aware that the texture of the milk and butter may change slightly when the soup is defrosted. Soups are great to have on hand when you don’t have time to make dinner from scratch. Just pull the corn soup out of the freezer the night before you want to eat it, or at least a couple of hours beforehand to let it thaw.<\/p>\n Reheat corn soup either on the stovetop or in the microwave until it’s warmed through.<\/p>\n To get the kernels off the cob, stand the corn cob up in the middle of a large bowl. Then, carefully use a knife to shave off the kernels. The bowl should catch most of the flyaways.<\/p>\n I love to serve corn soup with some crusty bread and a simple salad\u2014whether it’s a green salad<\/a> or a slaw. A pasta salad<\/a> would even do the trick since this corn soup isn’t quite as hearty. It would also make a great quick lunch with your favorite sandwich recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can definitely freeze corn on the cob<\/a> for your winter soups<\/a>, and this is the perfect soup for your frozen summer corn. I like to store at least a full freezer bag of kernels every summer so I can have a taste of sunshine during the dreary winter days.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Make this
