Equipment

  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring Cups
  • dutch oven or heavy-bottom soup pot
  • large spoon
  • knife

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 Leek, washed, dried, chopped (white part only)
  • 2 Celery, washed, trimmed, sliced thin
  • 1 small Green Pepper, chopped fine 1/4 cup chopped
  • 1 small Red Pepper 1/4 cup chopped
  • 1 Carrot, large, washed, peeled, cut in thin slices about 1/2 cup
  • 4 Potatoes, red or gold, washed, peeled, cut in 1" pieces about 3 cups
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth, low sodium
  • 5 ears Corn, kernels removed from cob about 3 cups
  • 1 tablespoon Miso Paste, white (mellow)
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Lemon Pepper
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1 tablespoon Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Water
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk, refrigerated, unsweetened
  • ¼ cup Italian Parsley, chopped, for serving

Instructions

  • COOK THE VEGETABLES
  • Melt the olive oil In a large dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot.
    Add the onion, leek and celery and cook on medium high heat until soft, about 5-6 minutes. Stir the mixture from the bottom so it does not brown.
  • Add the chopped green and red pepper and carrots, and continue cooking on medium high heat for another 5 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally so the mixture doesn't brown. Add the potatoes, and stir to combine.
  • Add the vegetable broth, corn, miso paste, garlic powder, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Stir the mixture to combine. Simmer on medium heat, stirring occasionally for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Combine the flour and water in a small bowl to make a paste and add it to the mixture. Stir together until combined. Add the coconut milk, and continue to cook on medium heat for about 5 more minutes.
  • Using a measuring cup, pull one cup of soup from the pot and process until smooth in a blender, then return it to the pot. Continue to cook on medium heat for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Remove bay leaf and garnish each bowl with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • To prepare fresh corn, remove all the green outer leaves of the corn first, including the silky strings as best you can, then wash the ears and dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Stand the corn cob ear up in a large bowl or cutting board with the bottom (larger end) down.
  • Cut the kernels off from the top to the bottom with a sharp knife, working on one side at a time.
  • Cut downward, as close to the base of the corn as you can.
  • The corn kernels will come right off and are ready to use!
