Serves
4 small servings (each approx. 4-6 oz)
Ingredients You Need for Chilled Sweet Corn Soup [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- 6 fresh ears of shucked corn
- 1 cup unsweetened, unflavored almond milk
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- About 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ¾ cup watermelon, cut into neat tiles (not cubes)
- ¼ pint blackberries
- A handful of fresh basil leaves
How to Prepare Chilled Sweet Corn Soup [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Gently remove the corn kernels from the ears (discard the cobs). Carefully combine these sweet kernelswith the almond milk and cinnamon in a blender or food processor.
- Pour the resulting mixture into a clean flour-sack cloth or nut-milk bag positioned over a bowl. Allow it to strain completely, removing all solids for an impressively smooth texture.
- Taste the strained corn mixture and whisk in maple syrup until you reach your desired level of sweetness.
- Divide the chilled soup evenly among serving cups or bowls. Gently arrange dehydrated watermelon tiles (or cubes), fresh blackberries, and a couple sprigs of basil leaves for garnish before enjoying.
