Blackberries and sweet corn are the perfect pairing, and every August I try new and inventive combinations. This soup walks the line between sweet and savory, and the color is gorgeous. No standing over the hot stove either! —witchykitchen

This was delicious! It paired so well with chicken salad. Because I’m not a fan of cucumbers, I only added a slice. It was the perfect way to use up some blackberries!

Made twice again this year--love this summery dish! Strain the seeds and it is so smooth.

BoulderGalinTokyo--I'm very sorry to see that no one has discovered this recipe (no saves) I loved it!
I reviewed it on Sept. 2014 for a contest so I guess they don't publish the comments.

Chilled Blackberry Soup with Sweet Corn, Mozzarella and Ricotta

My imagination was captured by a savory Blackberry Soup, chilled, with corn, CORN? By witchykitchen, no less! Oh, this I had to try.

The flavor of sun-warmed fruit, chilled, to temper the heat of the day.
Hidden flavors from the cucumber, garlic, thyme and basil- music note accents.
The corn, maybe like the bee, buzzing in and out, a perfect foil to the blackberries.
A beautiful color, the blackberry didn't fade, or turn brown.
And the creaminess of the cheeses balancing it all out
to make a delicious summer evening in a bowl! Decadence!

Two Notes:
1. It was much better the next evening, so prepare a day ahead.
2. Strain those irritating seeds out. Pure velvet on the tongue.

Can't wait for next summer to make again!
