Notes: Stir the coconut milk before measuring. To sliver basil, stack leaves; starting at tip end, roll up, then thinly slice rolls crosswise. Ingredients:
1 red onion (8 oz.), peeled and chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
5 cups fresh corn kernels (see below) |
2 cups milk |
1 cup canned coconut milk (see notes) |
1/2 cup fat-skimmed chicken broth or water |
1 fresh serrano chili, rinsed, stemmed, seeded, and minced |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
5 fresh basil leaves, slivered (see notes) |
salt and pepper |
lime wedges |
Directions:
1. In a 4- to 5-quart pan over medium-high heat, stir onion in olive oil until limp, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Stir in corn, milk, coconut milk, broth, and chili; bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender to bite, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. With a slotted spoon, remove about 2 cups corn kernels from pan and reserve. In a blender or food processor, working in batches and holding down lid with a towel, whirl remaining corn mixture until smooth. Return to pan.
4. Add lime juice, basil, and reserved corn. Stir soup over medium heat until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with lime wedges.
5. Cutting kernels: An average ear of corn weighs from 10 to 14 ounces and yields about 1 cup of kernels. To remove them, with a large, sharp knife, cut off and discard the stem end of each ear down to the beginning of the kernels. Pull off and discard the husks and silks; rinse ears. Holding each ear upright, shear off the kernels close to the cob.
