Instruções

Note: If the corn cobs are too hot in step 3, use a clean kitchen towel to hold them steady while you scrape. Serve with lots of buttered crusty bread or cornbread.

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion, carrots, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper and cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in broth, tomatoes and their juice, and corn cobs and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are tender and soup is slightly thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.

Remove corn cobs and set aside to cool. Increase heat to medium. Stir corn kernels, zucchini, green beans, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt into soup and cook until vegetables are tender, 5 to 8 minutes.

Use back of knife to scrape pulp from reserved corn cobs; discard cobs. Stir corn pulp and basil into soup. Measure out 1 cup soup into blender and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir puree back into soup and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve, drizzling with extra oil.
