Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soup Base

    In a large pot, combine corn kernels, vegetable broth, shallots, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the corn is tender.

  2. 2

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Stir in heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Chill the Soup

    Transfer the soup to a bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bacon Relish

    In a skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from heat and let it drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the chilled corn soup in bowls, topped with the crispy bacon and fresh Dungeness crab meat.
