Savory and Spicy Sweet Corn Soup with Chipotle
When it comes to making soups and stews, the saute function on your stove is an invaluable tool. If you’re looking for a soup that’s both nutritious and full of flavor, you should definitely give this sweet corn and chipotle soup a try. To begin, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Then, add 750 milliliters of vegetable stock and a medium-sized diced onion to the pot.
While the stock and onion simmer, it’s time to prepare the vegetables. Start by cutting 1 cup of fresh corn kernels from the cob. Next, dice a large sweet potato and two medium-sized carrots. Once the vegetables are ready, add them to the pot and let everything cook together for about six minutes.
To give the soup its signature smoky and spicy flavor, you’ll need to add some chipotle. You can either use chipotle flakes or a diced chipotle pepper, depending on your preference. Additionally, toss in three shredded lime peels and three dried garlic cloves. Let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together.
Once the cooking process is complete, turn off the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of yogurt, 1/4 cup of sliced red peppers, 1/3 cup of fresh cilantro leaves, and 1/2 cup of lime juice. These ingredients will add a creamy texture, a vibrant color, and a refreshing tang to the soup. Finally, give it a good stir, and your sweet corn and chipotle soup is ready to be served.
