My mother used to make this for me!

The ● ingredients are for two batches of soup. Please adjust the concentration, thickness and amount to taste.
If you scrape the corn kernels off with a knife you won't get any of the thin skin, but the kernels will go flying so be careful. For an easy-to-make amount. Recipe by Nico

Ingredients

  1. 3 medium● Fresh corn on the cob
  2. 1/2Onion
  3. 30 gramsButter
  4. From this point on all the ingredients are for one batch of soup using 1/2 of the ingredients listed above.
  5. 400 mlplus Milk
  6. 50 mlHeavy cream (if you have some)
  7. The beurre manié:
  8. 1 tbspButter
  9. 1 tbspFlour
  10. 1Salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Make cuts in each corn cob as shown in between the rows of kernels. Make cuts between each row of kernels on both cobs.

  2. 2

    Scrape one of the corn cobs with the back side of a kitchen knife to remove the insides of the corn only, leaving the skins. Remove the whole kernels with the blade of the knife from the other cob.

  3. 3

    This is what was removed from the corn cobs. Finely chop the onions and saute in butter over low heat until transparent, then add the corn and continue sauteeing.

  4. 4

    When the corn is cooked through and turns a nice yellow in color it's done. You can freeze half of this mixture in a ziplock bag. We'll make the rest into soup.

  5. 5

    Add 300 ml of milk to the pan that the cooked corn mixture is in, and simmer over low heat. Take care not to let it burn!

  6. 6

    Make the beurre manié (literally, "kneaded" butter). Put the butter (1 tablespoon) into a heatproof container and melt in the microwave. Add the flour and mix well.

  7. 7

    Add the beurre manié to the pan little by little to thicken the soup. Add the rest of the milk and the heavy cream, and adjust the thickness.

  8. 8

    When the soup is the constency you like, season with salt and pepper to taste and it's done.

  9. 9

    If you reduce the amount of milk drastically, the soup will be thick even without added thickener. If you want a really rich version!

  10. 10

    The corn and onion add a lot of sweetness, so this tastes best if you are generous with the salt. If you find the flavor lacking, add a tiny bit of soup stock granules.
