Creamy Autumn Harvest Corn Soup
This is a great autumn/winter corn soup that can be stored for a few days and tastes great.
Ingredients
- 3 ears of corn
- 1 fresh bell/sweet Pepper
- 750ml water
- 100ml Whole Milk
- 50ml Double Cream
- 1 Diced Red Onion
- 2 Chopped cloves of Garlic
- 2 tbsp of Olive Oil
- 1 tsp of Salt
- 1/4 tbsp of Smoked Paprika
- Sprinkle of Chopped fresh basil to Garnish
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190ºC.
- Shuck the corn by holding each ear of corn vertically over a baking sheet, use a sharp knife to slice off the corn kernels.
- Remove the stem and seeds. Then dice the pepper into small pieces.
- Mix the corn, the diced pepper with the olive oil and salt in a bowl, spread evenly on the baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring a couple of times. Remove the tray when the corn just starts to brown.
- While the corn is the oven, cut the cobs centers into 4 pieces and place them in a saucepan with the water. Bring the water to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let cook for 30 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, adding the onions and garlic on a medium heat, stirring for 6 to 8 minutes.
- Then add the roasted corn and peppers to the pan.
- Strain the corn cob liquid into the pan.
- Add the paprika and bring the soup to a boil.
- After simmering for 5 minuets add the milk, cream and splash of salt.
- Cook the corn soup for a further 3 to 5 minutes then serve. Add basil to taste.
To further the smokey flavor that the paprika adds, chop and fry up some smoked bacon to add that something extra!
