Grilled and Chilled Sweet Corn Soup

Ingredients

• 3 ears sweet corn with husk
• 1 small onion
• 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 small bunch dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Additional dill for topping

Instructions

Prepare grill for high heat cooking.

Place ears of corn on the grill and allow them to cook for approximately 20 minutes, turning them every 4-5 minutes until the husk is charred all over.

Cut the kernels off the corn with a knife. Make sure to scrape down the cob so you get all the juice.

Put half of the corn kernels in a blender with the onion, yellow bell pepper, garlic, and dill.

Add olive oil and a little water. Blend until smooth.

Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to a bowl and stir in the remaining corn kernels.

Chill and serve topped with additional dill.
