Method
In a pan, heat oil and add the chopped garlic, onion, and jalapeno. Saute until the onion turns translucent
Add the cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and sweet corn kernels. Saute for 1 minute. Add 1 cup of vegetable stock and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Blend into a smooth puree
Heat a pan, add some oil and saute the corn kernels for 2 minutes, or until cooked.
For the topping, we are going to make a fresh Salsa, also known as Pico de Gallo. In a small bowl, combine the chopped onion, chopped tomato, coriander, lemon juice, cumin powder and salt. Set this aside.
Add the puree back into the pan and add 1 ½ Cups of vegetable stock to the corn puree. Bring to a boil. Add the cream and turn off the heat.
Top the soup with some of the sauteed corn and some Pico de Gallo (fresh salsa). Arrange some jalapeño slices on top, and sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top. Mexican Corn Soup is ready to serve!
