Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup cilantro oil
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add the 2 cups of corn kernels to the blender. If using fresh corn, you can cut the kernels off the cob; if using frozen, ensure they are thawed before adding.
- Pour in the 2 cups of vegetable broth. This will serve as the base for your soup and provide flavor.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime into the blender. This adds a refreshing acidity that balances the richness of the avocado.
- Add salt to taste. Start with a small pinch and adjust later as needed.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if necessary.
- Transfer the soup to a bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill. This step is crucial for enhancing the flavors and serving it cold.
- While the soup is chilling, prepare the cilantro oil. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of cilantro oil. If you don't have cilantro oil, you can make it by blending fresh cilantro with a neutral oil until smooth, then straining it.
- Once the soup is chilled, give it a good stir before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with cilantro oil for a burst of flavor and color.
- Garnish with additional cilantro leaves or corn kernels if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Chilled Avocado Corn Soup!
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe avocados: Look for avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy.
- For maximum flavor, use fresh corn kernels when in season, but high-quality frozen corn works great too.
- Chill your serving bowls beforehand to keep the soup extra cool and refreshing.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more vegetable broth if the soup is too thick.
- For a smoother texture, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
- Make the cilantro oil ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for easy preparation.
- For an extra flavor boost, toast some corn kernels as a crunchy garnish.
- This soup is best served within 24 hours of preparation to maintain its fresh taste and texture.
