Description

Ingredients

• 8 ears of corn, corn removed (about 8-9 cups)
• 5 yukon potatoes, diced
• 6 strips of bacon, diced
• 1 large red onion, diced
• 2 large poblanos, roasted then diced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups of vegetable stock
• 3 cups of water
• 1 cup of coconut milk (from a can)
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro
• juice of 2 limes
• 2 avocados, sliced

Directions

• Turn two stove burners on medium high. Place poblanos directly on burners. Roast until all sides of the poblano are charred, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove. Let sit to cool down.
• Using a knife gently remove the charred skin off the poblano, then dice the poblanos. Set aside.
• Preheat a large skillet to medium high heat.
• Add in bacon, cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly crispy. Remove the bacon from pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain the grease.
• Empty the bacon grease from the pan and place pan back on the burner. Immediately add red onions to pan and saute for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent.
• To a large crock pot, add corn, yukon potatoes, bacon, red onions, poblanos, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, garlic cloves, vegetable stock, and water.
• Place cover on and cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
• Using a ladle, add 2 cups of the soup from the crock pot to a blender or food processor. Then add coconut milk to the blender. Turn on high and blend until mixture is smooth and coconut milk is incorporated.
• Add blended coconut milk mixture back to the crock pot along with fresh cilantro and lime juice. Stir and cook for 10 minutes.
• Serve! Top with avocado and cilantro.
