    Fresh Corn Soup with Avocado Salsa

    Apr 1, 2019 · Leave a Comment

    Jump to Recipe

    Corn season is getting closer and I can feel it in my midwestern bones.

    Straight off a freshly grilled cob is my favorite way to eat corn, but I make do with all other forms when ears aren't available. Frozen and canned get me through every season that's not corn season.

    This soup is ultra fresh-corny and will maybe even trick you into thinking it's summer. I especially like this soup because cook time is very short, which means the corn still has its fresh crunch even though it's coming from a frozen bag!

    A short cook time also means a quick meal. Hi, YES! Please and thank you.

    90% of my love for soup stems from its potential for toppings, and this soup is no exception. Here we do a fresh avocado salsa that is heavy on the lime. It's all so fresh and summery!

    ALSO I've been hankering to try this soup with crispy carnitas in it/on it. This would take away from the quickness of the soup, so I have yet to do it even though it would definitely be worth the extra effort. If you try it, tell me! I need soup envy to motivate me.
