Corn Potato And Coconut Milk Soup Recipes

BROCCOLI, CORN AND COCONUT MILK SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and light greens and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the broccoli and corn and simmer until the potatoes and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Stir in the coconut milk and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency with water and seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
• Serve hot sprinkled with almonds and sliced scallion greens and a drizzle of coconut milk if using.

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and light greens and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add all but 2 tablespoons of the corn to the broth and continue to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Stir in the coconut milk and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper. Put the reserved corn in small bowl and microwave for a few seconds, just to remove the chill.
• Serve hot and top with almonds, reserved corn and sliced scallion greens.

POTATOES AND CORN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, place the potatoes, celery and leaves, and onion. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Remove the celery leaves, and stir in the bouillon cubes until dissolved. Mix in the corn. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• Mix the chives into the pot, and continue cooking 5 minutes before serving.

SPICY CORN AND COCONUT SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
• In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
• Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
• Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

SMOKY CORN CHOWDER WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat. Add the onions, poblano chiles and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the corn, potatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bring the chowder to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer one-third of the soup to a blender (see Cook's Note). Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.
• Pour the soup back into the pot and stir to combine. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with hot sauce if desired.
