- 5 cobs corn grilled and kernels removed (about 5 cups)
- 1 large shallot diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 large potato peeled and diced
- 2 jalapeño peppers seeds removed and diced
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1 can coconut milk 400 ml
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ½ cup basil leaves roughly torn + additional for serving
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
On a preheated bbq or grill pan, cook the corn on the cob for about 10-12 minutes, rotating every 3-4 minutes, until you have nice charring marks around the corn. Once cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob.
Heat a heavy bottomed soup pot on medium. Pour 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in the pot. Once the oil just starts to smoke add the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Add the jalapeño, garlic, potatoes, and half the corn and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes. Next add the stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and add coconut milk and lime juice. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring back up to heat before serving with basil and a spoonful of charred kernels.
