Take note
Handle hot ingredients with caution. Be careful when blending hot soup. Always use oven mitts when handling hot pots and pans.

1

Roast the Corn

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Shuck and clean 4 ears of corn. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle some olive oil over the corn and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the corn kernels are slightly golden.

2

Cook the Soup Base

In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute. Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, followed by 1 cup of heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

3

Blend the Soup

Carefully transfer the soup into a blender (work in batches if necessary) and blend until smooth. Remember to only fill the blender halfway and hold the lid down with a kitchen towel to prevent splatters. Return the blended soup to the pot.

4

Add the Corn and Seasonings

Cut the roasted corn kernels off the cobs and add them to the soup. Stir in 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and the juice of 1 lime. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
