Corn Off the Cob Soup By Kelly Miller • October21,2015 • Updated January 13, 2020 • 6 Comments 32.8K 18 Jump to Recipe Corn off the Cob Soup is a simple and delicious soup that features fresh corn from the cob! This soup is a quick weeknight dinner year-round! We have a serious addiction to soup in this family. I’m not even remotely kidding. Our two older boys are 6 and 4 and you should be here when I tell them we’re having soup for dinner. It’s like I said pizza with french fries and milkshakes or something! Ok, maybe not THAT enthusiastic, but definitely excited.It doesn’t even matter to them what kind of soup I’m planning on, I think they just automatically know it’s going to be good and they’re going to like whatever kind of soup it is. It’s funny, one of the first days we had Reuben home with us I was really too tired to fix dinner. Paul was out of the house that night so it was just me and the three boys. I was clearly exhausted from the hospital stay and taking shifts with Paul at night with the baby that I decided canned chunky soup would be good enough for us that night for dinner. Some days you just need to open a can, pour it in a bowl, and microwave it – am I right?!Well according to the boys, I was dead wrong. The both of them turned their noses up at the canned soup – they were SO disappointed that it wasn’t my usual homemade soup! Totally made me feel proud in one sense, but even more utterly exhausted in another sense because that meant I had to think up a different dinner for them that night! This Corn Off the Cob Soup is absolutely perfect if you are a lucky duck and have tons of corn in your freezer to use up from this summer. Or if you’re like me, you’ll use fresh frozen corn and call it a day! The perfect soup for a chilly night! I made some jumbo refrigerated biscuits with this soup and it was the perfect bread to dip with – the boys loved doing that with their bowl of soup! This recipe is great with a cold glass of milk too, yum! If you liked this Corn off the Cob Soup recipe, leave a rating and a comment below this post!

Helen says July 26, 2018 at 4:48 am I don’t cook for a lot of reasons. I overthink things at a near-professional level, I never really learned, and I’m rather lazy. My mom (who’s a very good cook), however, was floored at how well this recipe came out when I made it. It was just the thing for a nervous beginner to make. I’ll absolutely be returning to your blog for more practice. Thank you, Kelly! Reply

Alicia says August 30, 2018 at 9:49 pm Hey there! I just made this soup and mine looks a lot more creamy than the picture on your blog. Like a watery corn chowder. What did I do wrong? Lol Reply

Sharon says April 23, 2023 at 5:41 pm This recipe popped up as an option from my Supercook app. I’ve been trying to cull down my freezer foods and needed to use up some corn. This recipe is super simple and amazingly delicious! I threw in some leftover chicken to use that up too! Reply
