Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 6 ears fresh corn
- 1 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Use a knife to cut the kernels off of the remaining 5 cobs, and then break the scraped cobs in half. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, 8-10 minutes. Add the chicken stock, corn kernels, broken cobs, whole ear of corn, salt and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove the whole ear of corn and set aside to cool. Cook the soup for 10 minutes more, then remove the broken cobs from the pot and discard
- Off the heat, use a hand held immersion blender to purée lightly
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper (if necessary, you can add a bit of sugar to bring out the corn's natural sweetness). Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish
