Updated: Jun 19, 2018


Corn Soup Jalapeno Pesto

Modified a Well Vegan Recipe* | Serves: 2 | Time: ~45 min


Ingredients


Soup

1 beefsteak #tomato

1 tbsp vegan butter

1 shallot, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 Yukon gold potato, diced

3 ears sweet #corn

2 cups vegetable broth

S&P, to taste


Pesto

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

1 garlic clove, minced

½ lime, juiced

½ cup fresh basil leaves

¼ cup sunflower kernels

2 Tbsp. olive oil

S&P, to taste


For serving

Some bread


Instructions

Place a large stockpot over medium heat and add the vegan butter. Once melted, add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant and softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the potato and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add ¼ cup water and cover the pot to steam for 5 minutes.


Stir in most of the corn, reserving a scant ¼ cup for garnish. Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.


To make the jalapeño pesto, add the jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, fresh basil, sunflower kernels, and olive oil to the bowl of a food processor. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer pesto to a small bowl and set aside.


Allow the soup to cool slightly. Then transfer to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Return soup to the stockpot and continue to simmer for 10 minutes.

Cup of raw broccoli and red bell pepper

Handful of almonds

*The only change I made to the was that I used a shallot instead of 1/2 a sweet onion. I hate wasting food and I could tell the shallot didn't have too much life left in it.
