Sweet Corn Bisque Bowl With Chives, Corn, and Sriracha.

Finished with a drizzle of sriracha and a sprinkling of fresh chives for added flavor, this soup can be served as a first or main course.

To cut down on the fat and calories a bit, our recipe is made with a base of chicken broth and half-and-half rather than heavy cream, but the corn itself adds so much creamy texture you’d never know you were eating a lighter version of sweet corn bisque.

Ingredients 

  • 6 ears fresh sweet corn, (about 3 cups kernels)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium shallot, very finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3-1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Sriracha
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Instructions 

  • Shuck the corn, cut the kernels from the cob and transfer to a bowl. Set aside about 1/4 cup of the kernels for garnish. Using a spoon, scrape the cobs to release the last bits of the kernels and add to the bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a soup pot, add the shallot and sauté until soft and translucent. Add the flour, combine well and continue cooking, stirring often, until the mixture is golden.
  • Whisk in the chicken broth slowly until well blended, then bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the corn. Continue cooking, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes, then stir in the half-and-half and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth.
  • To serve, pour the bisque into individual bowls, drizzle with sriracha and garnish with corn kernels and chopped chives.

    Hi Lynn, Would you know how many cups of corn are needed to make this soup? I’ve shucked some local sweet corn and some of the ears are a bit spars.
    Thank you

      Hi Mary,
      An average ear of corn yields about 1/2 cup of kernels, so you’ll need about 3 cups to make this soup.
