Fresh Curried Corn Soup Food

FRESH CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Simmer corn with salt in the water, covered, 20 minutes, or until very tender.
• Purée soup in batches in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). As each batch is puréed, pour through a coarse sieve, pressing on solids, into a saucepan if serving hot or into a metal bowl if serving cold.
• Reheat soup, stirring, or chill it by setting bowl of soup in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stirring. If soup is too thick, thin with water.
• Serve sprinkled with chives.

CURRIED CORN SOUP WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add the ginger, garlic, thyme, curry powder and potato. Cook, stirring, until the potato is coated in the spices, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 2 cups water and the sugar and bring to a boil. Add the corn, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Add the heavy cream and continue cooking until warmed through, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth; return to the pot. Season with salt. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan and reheat if needed. Serve with toppings.

SPICY CORN AND COCONUT SOUP

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.

CURRIED SWEETCORN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the rapeseed oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for 8-10 mins until soft. Add the garlic cloves, red or green chilli, carrot and celery. Cook for 2 mins, then add the ground turmeric, mild or medium curry paste, chicken or vegetable stock cube and lentils. After 30 secs, pour in the coconut milk and 800ml boiling water. Cover and simmer for 15 mins. Add the sweetcorn, cover and cook for 3 mins. Leave the soup chunky or part-blend. Season to taste. Top with a halved soft-boiled egg, coriander leaves and green chilli slices.

CURRIED CORN AND SHRIMP SOUP

Steps:

• Over high heat, in a 4- to 5-quart pan, combine the chicken broth, apples, onion, and curry.
• Cover; bring to a boil, and simmer until apples will mash easily, about 30 minutes.
• Let cool, then cover and chill until cold, a minimum of 3 hours or can be chilled overnight.
• When cooled, place mixture in a blender and puree until smooth.
• Cut a few thin strips of red pepper and set aside for garnish; dice remaining pepper.
• Put diced pepper in soup tureen with apple puree, buttermilk, lime juice and corn, stir to mix.
• Add the minced cilantro to the soup.
• Ladle the soup into bowls, top each bowl with an equal amount of shrimp.
• Garnish each bowl with bell pepper strips and cilantro.
• Serve.
• Please Note: The cooking time includes allowing the soup to cool overnight.
