Chilled Corn Soup

Ingredients

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  4 ½ cup or 1.07kg

• Butter

  Unsalted

  2 tbsp or 28g

• Garlic

  Raw

  1 cloves, minced or 3g

• Corn

  Sweet, yellow, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt

  3 ear medium or 309g

Directions

1. PREPARATION: Shuck corn. Chop onion and garlic.
2. Cut kernels from cobs with a sharp knife, then cut cobs into thirds.
3. Cook onion and garlic in butter with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add corn and cobs, water, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes.
4. Discard cobs, then pure corn mixture in batches in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Force soup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
5. Chill until cold, at least 1 hour. Thin with water if desired and season with salt.
