A comforting and flavorful soup featuring the smoky sweetness of corn. This version uses readily available ingredients and simple techniques for a satisfying weeknight meal.
Smoke the Corn: Grill corn over medium heat, turning occasionally, until kernels are lightly charred, about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, use a smoker at 225°F (107°C) for 30-45 minutes.
Cut the Kernels: Once cooled, cut the kernels off the cob.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, melt Butter over medium heat. Add Onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Combine and Simmer: Add the smoked corn kernels and Vegetable Broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Blend and Finish: Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth. Return to the pot, stir in Heavy Cream, Smoked Paprika, Salt, and Pepper. Heat through, but do not boil.
Serve: Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a swirl of cream, if desired.
