Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups fresh corn (about 4-5 ears of corn) or 2 cans (15 oz each) of sweet corn, drained

2 medium zucchinis, diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a non-vegan option)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Optional: Croutons or toasted pumpkin seeds for topping

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

    Add the Vegetables: Stir in the diced zucchini and corn (if using fresh, cut the kernels off the cobs). Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften a bit.

      Add Liquids and Season: Pour in the vegetable broth, followed by the dried thyme and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.

        Blend the Soup: Once the vegetables are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. For a creamier texture, blend in batches using a regular blender if desired.

          Finish with Creaminess: Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) and heat through for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy corn and zucchini soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and top with croutons or toasted pumpkin seeds for added crunch if desired.
