Ingredients
Corn Mixture
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (approximately ¾ cup)
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 4 cups canned sweet corn, well-drained
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
Soup
- 32 ounces chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons cotija cheese, crumbled (plus more for garnish)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1½ teaspoons Salt, more or less to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper, more or less to taste
Instructions
Corn Mixture
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the onion and jalapeno. Cook 3-5 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
- Add the drained sweet corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cilantro. Cook for 1 minute more. Reduce the heat to low.
Soup
- Carefully remove half of the corn mixture and put it in a separate bowl. Set aside.
- To the remaining corn mixture in the pot, add the chicken broth and the Cotija cheese. Use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients together.
- Pour the corn mixture that was set aside back into the pot and stir to combine.
- Stir in heavy cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Top soup with additional cilantro, jalapenos, Cotija cheese, pico de gallo, and sour cream.
