Ingredients

    4 large ears shucked corn
    2.5 tablespoons canola oil
    3/4 cup chopped onion
    3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
    1 garlic clove, minced
    3 cups water
    1.5 tablespoons salted butter

Tips

If you use a Vitamix, you don't need to strain the soup after blending.

Light coconut milk may be used in place of butter for this recipe to be vegan.


Directions

1. Cut kernels from ears of corn to equal 6 cups; scrape “milk“ and remaining pulp from cobs using the dull side of a knife blade.

2. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium flame; add onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium low; cover. Cook 8 minutes or until onion is softened, stirring occasionally. Add corn kernels and garlic; cover. Cook 4 minutes; add corn pulp, water and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place half of corn mixture in Vitamix or blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Blend until smooth. [if using regular blender]: Strain corn mixture through a sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. Repeat procedure with remaining corn mixture. Chill at least 4 hours.

3. Top with sliver of butter, extra salt and pepper to taste, and crab meat.

Serving Size: Makes 4 large bowls or 6-8 smaller bowls/cups.
