Curried Corn Soup

My cousin owns a restaurant in Ashland, Oregon. A friend of mine was traveling to the area and I suggested she go to the restaurant. Turns out she had been there on her last trip and had been dreaming of the curried corn soup she had there ever since. So I asked my cousin to hook me up with the recipe and lucky for me he did!

The recipe made three gallons of soup! Holy moly! But, I adapted it to serve 4 nice bowls of soup. Here are the directions he sent: small dice veggies, sauté with spices, add coconut milk and water, simmer, and add fresh herbs to serve. I will give you a little more info on that front. But, just so you know, the recipe called for Thai red curry paste which I don’t like so I left out the curry paste. If you like that stuff, go ahead and add a little but I think this version is pretty damn tasty.

Note: vegetable sizes vary, so use your judgment. This soup should be chunky so maybe add a few more potatoes or pepper if necessary!
