  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh sweet corn kernels or frozen corn
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a dairy-free option
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Optional: crumbled Cotija cheese for added authentic flavor
  • Optional: lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine the Ingredients: Place the corn kernels, chopped onion, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper into your slow cooker.
  2. Add the Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the ingredients are covered comfortably.
  3. Slow Cook the Soup: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours until the flavors meld and the corn is tender.
  4. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the crockpot to blend the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches, then return to the crockpot.
  5. Add the Cream: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, mixing well to create a rich, creamy texture.
  6. Final Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional spices as needed.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for the sweetest flavor, but frozen works perfectly in a pinch.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more jalapeños or chili powder for extra heat.
  • Top with crispy bacon bits or roasted corn for added texture.
  • Experiment with cheeses like queso fresco or Monterey Jack for variation.
  • Serve with Mexican rice or a light salad to complement the soup.
