Fresh corn adds sweetness, which works well with the salty cotija cheese and other fresh and tangy garnishes.
Blending half of the soup at the end adds its signature creaminess without adding cream.
The bay leaf gives it a depth of flavor.

Garnish with additional black pepper and chopped fresh thyme, if desired.
It would also be fun fare for a casual party.

We like the added zip of hot green chiles, but they can sometimes be very spicy.
It’s best to take a small bite first and add them to taste.
Try chopped peanuts and scallions for a different garnish.
Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
Top it with a dollop of creme fraiche or plain yogurt and serve warm or chilled.
This healthy butternut squash soup would be a wonderful starter for your Thanksgiving meal.
Here we use ancho chiles, which are sweet, earthy and relatively mild.
If you’re able to’t find smoked Gouda, smoked Cheddar gives delicious results as well.
