What makes this soup special?
- Creamy Texture: The combination of cream-style corn and blended ingredients creates a luxuriously smooth and creamy texture.
- Cornbread Infusion: Adding cornbread mix isn’t just a garnish – it thickens the soup and adds a subtle sweetness and authentic cornbread flavor.
- Cheesy Goodness: A generous amount of grated cheese melts into the soup, creating a rich and flavorful base.
- Customizable Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! We suggest shredded cheese, pickled jalapeños for a kick, or crispy bacon bits for added texture and flavor.
Tips for the Perfect Soup:
- Immersion Blender vs. Traditional Blender: An immersion blender makes quick work of pureeing the soup directly in the pot. If you don’t have one, a traditional blender works just as well – just be careful when transferring hot liquid.
- Cheese Choice: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of your favorite cheeses all work beautifully in this soup.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for a little extra heat.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I make this soup ahead of time? Yes! The soup can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator. You may need to add a little extra broth when reheating as it will thicken over time.
- Is this soup vegetarian? Yes, as written, this recipe is vegetarian. Ensure your chicken broth is vegetarian if you want to keep it fully vegetarian.
- Can I use frozen corn instead of cream-style corn? While cream-style corn provides the best texture, you can use frozen corn in a pinch. You may need to add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch to help thicken the soup.
- What kind of cornbread mix should I use? A standard sweet cornbread mix works best. Avoid mixes with large chunks of corn.
- Can I add any vegetables? Absolutely! Diced potatoes, carrots, or celery would be delicious additions.
