Chef John's Just Corn Soup

Chef John
"This is one of my all-time favorite ways to enjoy fresh, summer corn, and a great lesson in just how little help these sweet ears need. If you're using perfect, peak season ears, a little butter, salt and pepper is really all you need."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- After cutting corn from kernels, scrape the cob using the dull side of the knife to collect the sweet milky liquid at the base of the kernels. Toss corn kernels to separate them and make sure no corn silk remains.
- Place half of the the kernels in a saucepan and half in the bowl of a blender. Add cold water to the blender. Blend on highest setting until completely smooth, 1 or 2 minutes. Pour mixture into saucepan containing the rest of the corn. Place pot on medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. When mixture begins to simmer, stir and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Continue to simmer about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to lowest setting and add butter. Using an immersion blender, mix soup in several pulses until butter emulsifies into the soup and mixture comes together and looks creamy, about 30 seconds.

I liked it! Tasted creamy without the cream. I used a vitamix blender to blend 1/2 the corn and water. Used fresh white sweet corn and 1/2 the salt, what a treat!

Definitely not one of Chef John's best recipes. No texture. No flavour. Like pablum. There are way better corn soup recipes on this website. Don't waste your time on this one. But having said th...

This soup delivers on fresh corn flavor, but my family found the texture a bit off. Even after blending the corn mixture for 2 minutes, it seemed to be very smooth, but as we later realized, the...
