creamy corn soup

A creamy, flavorful corn soup, with a nice kick from the cayenne.

Serving size: 1 cup
Makes 6 servings
New quantity:

Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound frozen corn kernels
4 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup plain low fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped chives for garnish

Directions
1. In a large deep saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes. Add onion and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft, about 3 minutes.

2. Add garlic and cayenne and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add corn and sauté, stirring, until no longer frozen, about 1 minute. Add broth. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together yogurt with the remaining teaspoon of kosher salt.

3. Transfer soup to food processor in several batches and puree, reserving 1 cup not pureed to allow for a slightly chunky texture. Transfer back to pot. Cook over medium heat until heated through.

4. Off heat, whisk in salted yogurt. Divide to six bowls, garnish with chives and serve.
