Ingredients (Serves 6)

  1. 2 tablespoons canola oil
  2. 2 large onions, diced
  3. Kosher salt
  4. 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  5. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  6. 1 teaspoon dried epazote or oregano
  7. 1 teaspoon ground Mexican chiles*
  8. 1 small yuca or Idaho potato, peeled and finely diced
  9. 4 cups vegetable stock
  10. 4 cups diced tomatoes
  11. 5 ears corn, husks and silks removed, kernels cut off and reserved, cobs reserved
  12. Mexican crema or sour cream, for serving
  13. Lime wedges, for serving
  14. Avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced, for serving
  15. Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, for serving

Directions:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add the cumin, epazote, and chile and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add the yuca, stock, tomatoes with their juices, and corn cobs.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the yucca is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the corn kernels and cook just until heated through and still crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Discard the corn cobs.
  • Using an immersion blender or stand blender (working in batches if necessary), puree about half of the soup until thickened. It should be creamy but still have bits of vegetables throughout.
  • Serve with the crema, lime, avocado, and cilantro.

This soup is really versatile and can be served hot, cold, or room temperature.

    I know its summer for many but my FB feed must be reading my mind as soup recipes keep cropping up. Its monsoon season here in Mumbai and although its not cold, when its raining outside and the ac is pumping through the apartment, my mind turns to soup. This sounds like a delicious recipe
