Description

A comforting and vibrant soup that brings the essence of Mexican street food to your table, featuring sweet corn, warm spices, and zesty lime.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime juice (to taste)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Sliced jalapeños, for garnish (optional)
  • Cotija cheese, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a crockpot, combine corn, diced onion, minced garlic, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook on low for 360-480 minutes or on high for 180-240 minutes.
  3. Once cooked, blend the soup using an immersion blender or in batches until smooth, leaving some corn intact for texture.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream) and lime juice.
  5. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, jalapeños, and cotija cheese if desired.

Notes

For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut cream. Tasting as you go will help balance the flavors perfectly.
