3-Ingredient Corn Soup

Ingredients

• 2.0 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2.0 cups unsweetened oat milk or whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2.0 15 oz cans corn
• black pepper (to taste)
• chives (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Drain and rinse 2 (15-ounce) cans corn kernels. Place in a medium saucepan.
2. Step 2: Cook the corn over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the moisture evaporates and there is some browning at the bottom of the saucepan, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the corn.
3. Step 3: Transfer the remaining corn to a blender, add 2 cups unsweetened oat milk or whole milk, and blend until smooth.
4. Step 4: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in the same saucepan over medium-high heat (no need to clean).
5. Step 5: Add the reserved corn to the saucepan and cook until the kernels start to brown and pop, about 1 minute.
6. Step 6: Pour in the blended soup, add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and season with more kosher salt as needed.
7. Step 7: Serve topped with freshly ground black pepper and finely chopped fresh chives if desired.
