This is one my favorite ways to use fresh corn during the summer. This corn soup is easy to make and full of flavor. Sometimes I like to add potato sticks on top for a crunchy texture.

Made this tonight for my poor husband who just had oral surgery for his wisdom teeth and was starving. I pureed the heck out of the soup, and he loved it. Just added an extra garlic clove bc we're garlic freaks. 🙂 Great recipe!

Hello! Great flavor, but I made a mistake and used too much corn. The soup turned out too thick, but that was my fault. I will definitely prepare it again. Thank you.

HI Erica, the soup looks delicious! I have a new Colombian friend here locally. She is trying to entice her Indian boyfriend who loves curry and spice to enjoy Colombian food. I know I have been enjoying her food! I asked if she knew about your web site and she does!
Hope all is well and you are enjoying your summer.

Just wanted to share that I made this soup as part of my final at the culinary school I'm attending. Final grade is an A.
Not only instructor Chef but another Chef tasted the soup and gave a thumbs up.
I tried posting a picture but not able to do so. Thank you for posting these recipes. Delicious!

My boyfriend loves this soup. I'm making it for his birthday today, in fact. I stir in a handful or two of shredded Monterey Jack/Cheddar at the end and this really brings together all of the wonderful flavors. Then we add hot sauce to taste in our bowls. Thank you for the easy and delicious recipe!

Every week I make a meal based on the cuisine of a different country for my two kids. I appreciate so much the efforts of writers who put time into documenting the food from different places. Loved the meal tonight. Thank you!
