Ingredients

  • 10 whole corn on the cob
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 med onion
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 med potato
  • 950ml chicken stock

Method

  1. Using a large hole grater over a bowl, grate off the corn kernels. Scrape off any bits from the grater into the bowl.
  2. Peel and chop onions and the potato
  3. In a large pot heat oil over a medium heat. Add onions and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens.
  4. Add potato and stock to pot. Bring to a boil. Cook until onions and potatoes are very soft then add the grated corn. Cook until heated through.
  5. Reserve a couple of ladels of the mixture (to give the finished soup some body) and puree the remaining soup with a blender. Return to the pan with the reserved soup then reheat and serve. If you prefer a smooth soup then liquidise it all.
