CORN STOCK and CORN BROTH


The second version is called “corn broth,” but one might dub it “corn cream” because it’s almost as rich and hearty as the dairy variety. 
Corn Stock
4 corn cobs, kernels removed
water to cover
Put cobs in a stock pot and just enough water to cover them by half an inch. Bring almost to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer slowly until the corn flavor is extracted into the broth, about an hour.
Corn Broth
2 tbsp. butter
2 cups fresh corn kernels
½ cup onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ cups corn stock
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then add corn, onions, and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until corn is tender. Remove from heat and pour mixture into a blender along with the cup corn stock. Blend until smooth. Then strain into a bowl or storage container. Use immediately or store in refrigerator up to three days.
