Author Notes

Delicious, smooth and creamy chilled corn soup. Perfect for those hot summer days and a great way to use fresh sweet corn. BONUS- no heavy cream! I found this recipe on the Wild Greens and Sardines food blog (recipe cred below), and it was just so delicious I wanted to post this for everyone to see! I ended up making my own veggie stock with the ears of corn and veggies on hand per recipe suggestion.
