    Corn Chowder

    These days ‘fresh from the farm’ section in the grocery stores of our town is flooded with fresh corn on the cob. I like shopping from this section because they keep fresh seasonal produce from nearby farms to sell.

    When it comes to fresh corn on the cob, the only thing that comes to my mind is to boil or grill them. This time I wanted to try something different from just eating the kernels. The dish which came to my mind was corn chowder–a perfect soup to enjoy seasonal fresh corns. Isn’t it?

    Simple, easy and delicious Summer Corn Soup

    One thing that concerns me the most about restaurant-style corn chowder is the overuse of butter, cheese, and cream. However, my soup version does not include any of these ingredients. You can make the soup equally delicious without these loaded ingredients–a creamy yet healthy version of corn chowder! Let me show you how…

    Summer Corn Chowder Recipe!

    For this recipe, you will need fresh corns on the cob, potatoes, onion, garlic, and herbs like thyme and cilantro. Further, you can add fresh carrots and celery to boost its nutritional value. Cook all the veggies, corn, and potato in vegetable stock until tender. Then add half the soup mixture to a blender and blend to a smooth consistency. Add back this cream-like blended soup to the pan.

    Also, I used some cashew cream instead of dairy cream to make this soup more creamy. It tastes great even without adding any cream.

    How to remove corn kernels from the cob?

    • I simply use a knife to cut corn off the cob. It will take some practice to remove kernels without much waste.
    • If you are not confident or are concerned about the safety of using the knife on the hard cob, you can use a corn stripping tool. A variety of tools are available on Amazon for removing corn kernels.

    I’d appreciate your feedback if you happen to use any tools for this job. I am also considering buying one for my kitchen.
