15.25 ozwhole kernel corn, drained (can also use leftover, cooked corn on the cob, about 2 cups)
1cup milk (regular milk or unsweetened, original almond milk)
½cupchicken broth (plus more if needed)
1cupshredded white cheese (see notes)
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Bring about 6 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium to large pot.
While the water comes to a boil, cut the zucchinis and into ½ inch triangle pieces.
Add the zucchini triangles to the boiling water. Parboil the zucchini for 3-4 minutes so the pieces are slightly softened but still crisp and not cooked through.
Remove the zucchini from the heat and drain the water. Set zucchini aside.
In the same pot, heat the olive oil on medium. Add the diced onion and diced garlic clove. Sauté until fragrant. Add the diced Roma tomato and sauté for another minute.
Mix in the can of whole kernel corn, milk , ½ cup of chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the zucchini back in and mix together. Bring to a boil, then let is simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, add another ¼-1/2 cup of chicken broth.
Mix in one cup of shredded white cheese and turn off the heat. Allow the cheese to melt.
Serve in a bowl for lunch, as a side dish, or as a first course before your main entree.
Notes
Use a good melting white cheese, such as such as asadero, Chihuahua, Oaxaca, Mexican muenster or Monterey Jack
