Soup Base

Huitlacoche Crema

Black Garlic

Tortilla Crumble

Method

Prepare Soup Base

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Corn and Broth

    Add the fresh corn kernels and vegetable broth to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Using a blender, puree the soup until smooth. Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Prepare Huitlacoche Crema

  1. 4

    Blend Huitlacoche

    In a blender, combine huitlacoche, sour cream, lime zest, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Prepare Tortilla Crumble

  1. 5

    Bake Tortillas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the corn tortillas into small pieces. Toss with olive oil and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 10-12 minutes.

Assemble the Dish
