Instructions
 

  • To prepare chilled corn soup, start by cooking the corn kernels in a small pressure cooker. Add the salt and turmeric, with 1/4 cup water. Pressure cook for 1 whistle and 5 minutes on sim. If you don't use a pressure cooker, cook in a pan on stove top until the corn kernels are cooked~10 minutes.
  • Remove this into a bowl and either allow to cool down naturally or keep in freezer for 10 minutes until completely chilled.
  • Peel and slice half the apple. In a blender, place the chilled corn mixture with the apple slices. Add one jalapeño or green chilli if desired. Add 1/4 cup water and blend to a very fine puree.
  • Divide between two small bowls. Top with a slice of apple, a few corn kernels, mint leaf and extra virgin olive oil
  • Crumbled feta also makes an excellent garnish for this soup.

Notes

When corn is not in season, use frozen corn kernels. These can be cooked in a microwave safe bowl with a splash of water - cover the bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes.
