Cold Avocado Corn Soup With Coriander Oil

This vibrant cold avocado and corn soup is a sophisticated vegetarian starter that celebrates the bright, fresh flavours of summer. By charring the corn before simmering it into a broth, you infuse the dish with a delicate smokiness that perfectly balances the creamy richness of the ripe avocados. The addition of a homemade coriander oil provides a professional finish, offering both a punch of herbal fragrance and a stunning contrast against the pale green soup.

Ideal for alfresco dinner parties or a light weekend lunch, this chilled soup is a refreshing alternative to traditional warm starters. It is naturally nutritious and can be prepared in advance, allowing the flavours to develop in the fridge. Serve it in shallow bowls with a swirl of soured cream to highlight its velvety texture and impressive seasonal appeal.

How to make Cold Avocado Corn Soup With Coriander Oil

Roast corn on rack of gas burner over high heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until kernels are charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. (Alternatively, heat a dry well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and roast corn over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.) Transfer corn to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cob with a sharp knife, then cut cob into thirds.

Bring kernels, cob pieces, 950ml water, garlic, salt, and 120ml onion to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan and boil until liquid is reduced to about 725ml , about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, uncovered. Discard cob pieces.

Purée corn mixture along with chilli and remaining 120g onion in a blender, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Return broth to cleaned blender.

Quarter, pit, and peel 1 avocado, then add to blender with 2 tablespoons lime juice and purée until smooth. Transfer soup to a bowl and cover surface with plastic wrap. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill soup at least 1 hour.

Purée coriander, oil, and salt in cleaned blender, scraping down sides of blender several times. Pour oil into cleaned fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and let drain 15 minutes (do not press on solids). Discard solids.

Halve and pit remaining avocado and scoop small balls from flesh with melon-ball cutter, then toss gently with remaining tablespoon lime juice in a bowl.

Whisk together crema and remaining 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth.

Season soup with salt and ladle into 6 shallow soup bowls. Divide avocado balls among bowls, then drizzle with crema and coriander oil.
