CORN SOUP WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Cut the kernels off 6 ears of the corn, transfer to a medium bowl and then, working over the bowl, run the back of a chef?s knife down the cobs to extract all the juices and pulp from the corn.
• Melt the butter in a large wide pot or medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sugar, garlic, shallot, jalapeno, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the corn kernels and juices and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is softened and well coated, about 5 minutes more. Add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf and 6 cups water. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the kernels off the remaining 2 ears of corn and set aside. Discard the thyme and bay leaf from the soup and then carefully puree in batches in a blender (or in the pot with an immersion blender) until creamy, taking care not to fill the blender more than half full per batch.
• Return the soup to the pot, add the reserved corn kernels and simmer over medium heat until the corn is tender, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Divide the soup among 4 bowls and top with the mixed herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

CREAMY CORN SOUP WITH BASIL

Steps:

• Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to look wavy, add the onions and season well with salt and pepper.
• Let onions cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes, then turn heat to medium and continue cooking until onions are quite soft, about 15 minutes more.
• Add the garlic and corn kernels, and stir to combine. Add 6 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Taste the resulting broth and adjust salt to taste. (It should be well seasoned.) Cook for about another 10 to 15 minutes, until the kernels are tender. Stir in squash blossoms, if using, and turn off heat.
• Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender. Pass the puréed soup through a fine-mesh strainer and into a large bowl, pushing down to press all the liquid out. Discard the fibrous debris left behind.
• Check consistency and seasoning, and adjust as needed. (Add a bit more water if the soup seems too thick.) The soup can be made up to a few hours ahead up to this point, and tastes best the day it's made. Reheat, if needed, before serving.
• To serve, ladle into individual bowls. Drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil over each serving. Quickly chop the basil, and sprinkle over to finish.
