Author Notes: Here we have a soup that has a surprising amount of delicate yet bold flavors, and elements that I never would have thought would have complimented each other in such symphonic unison. It starts out thick and hearty, but somehow finishes wispy and soft – almost ethereal. - F for Food

- 1 shallot, chopped
- 2 cups yellow corn kernels
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1/2 teaspoon hot curry

I just made this soup (with a few changes for lack of ingredients) and it is delicious! I used onion instead of scallion, olive oil instead of butter, and left out the dried mint. The corn, curry, buttermilk and fresh mint taste wonderful together. I made this to use up some extra buttermilk, but I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing a great recipe!
