Ingredients
- 4-5 ears fresh sweet corn washed & kernels chopped off (I prefer white!) if it's not corn season 2 cups canned white corn works!

- 1/2 sweet onion chopped fine
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp Sea salt or more to taste

Instructions
- Wash & Chop Vegetables. In Medium soup pot heat olive oil, sauté onions, leek and garlic 2-3 minutes.
- Add Sweet Potatoes, salt, pepper & thyme. Cover with a lid and let cook on medium for 5 minutes.
- Add in zucchini, 4 ears worth of corn kernels (saving 1 for garnish!), bay leaves and stir to combine. Add in Coconut milk and vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
- Let soup simmer on low until vegetables are cooked through 10 minutes or so and then take off heat. Remove the bay leaves.
- Using an immersion blender or high speed blender blend 1/2 of the soup (I only do 1/2 because I like mine a little chunky) Add back to soup pot and combine.
- I let mine sit until I was ready to serve and then just heated it on low - this allowed it to thicken up a little bit. Topped with fresh basil, nutritional yeast and raw corn kernels! YUM!!
Recipe Notes
You can beef this up with some spinach, kale, carrots, bell peppers whatever you have on hand! During the summer I tend to have TONS of zucchini because it is cheap and can be used in so many ways! Happy Summer!
