Creamy Corn Soup with Jalapeño

This sweet and spicy Creamy Corn Soup with Jalapeño is simple to make with many ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

🧾 Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Corn: I used fresh corn because it was available when I made this recipe. You could also use frozen.
• Onion: For a sweet pungent flavor.
• Olive oil: To cook the onion in. Adds flavor.
• Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
• Jalapeño pepper: For some spice. If you want less spice, leave out the seeds and ribs. For even more spice, use a serrano pepper.
• Vegetable broth: I used low sodium vegetable broth because I like to control the amount of sodium, but you could use regular vegetable broth. Either will add flavor.
• Coconut milk: I used full fat coconut milk for its rich creamy flavor. I tried this recipe first with light coconut milk and it just didn't add the richness I wanted.
• Salt and pepper: Adds flavor and enhances flavors.
• Key lime juice: Cuts through the richness of the soup. Adds a bright acidic flavor. I used key lime juice because I love the taste, but you could use whatever variety of limes you want.
• Cilantro: For garnish and a fresh note. You could leave it out or use parsley, green onions, or chives.
