Curry corn soup


A delightfully complex flavor was imparted by the separate preparation of the broth. Do not skip this step. This recipe provided a perfect use for some old, frozen corn.

Ingredients
4 ears corn
12 cilantro sprigs and 5 tbsp chopped cilantro
medium yellow onion
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp ground coriander
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp turmeric
0.5 tsp hot paprika
14 oz coconut milk
salt
black pepper
lime juice

Preparation
Slice the corn off the cobs. Mince the onion. Measure out the spices.

Boil the cobs with the cilantro sprigs in six cups of water. Simmer for 30 minutes. Drain out all solids.


Melt the butter and cook the onion in it for a few minutes. Add the spices and cook for a minute.

Add in the coconut milk, the corn kernels, the chopped cilantro, 1.5 cups of corn stock, 1tsp salt. Simmer for 10 minutes, adjust consistency with more stock. Adjust salt. Add some ground black pepper.


Serve with lime wedges and more cilantro sprinkled on top (if desired).
