1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 larges Ears fresh corn
3 tablespoons Butter
1 medium Brown onion; chopped
3 Cloves garlic; minced
2 Fresh poblano chillies or serrano; (2 to 3)
; chillies
½ cup Cold water
2 tablespoons Corn flour
4 cups Rich chicken or vegetable stock
2 cups Milk or cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
100 grams Mexican 'Queso Fresco' or crumbled feta
½ cup Flat leaf parsley; chopped
½ cup Coriander; chopped

Directions

Using a very sharp knife, cut all the corn from the ears and puree all but 1 cup of the corn. Set aside the corn kernels and leave the pureed corn in the processor.

Heat half the butter in a large saucepan and add the onion, cooking over a medium heat until the onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chillies and continue cooking for a further minute then add the onion mixture to the pureed corn in the processor. Process this mixture together with water and cornflour until relatively smooth.

Heat the remaining butter in the same saucepan and add the pureed mixture, cooking for five minutes, or until the corn mixture is quite thick. Add the stock and stir while the mixture heats. Simmer over a low heat for 20 minutes or until the soup is quite thick and smooth. Add the cream or milk and half the parsley and coriander and continue to simmer gently, seasoning to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the reserved corn kernels and stir to distribute.

Serve the soup garnished with remaining parsley, coriander and crumbled feta.
