I have really been enjoying the fresh local corn over the last few weeks. I wanted to try using the corn in miso soup. A reader pointed me towards this recipe which sounded interesting. As I was making the soup for breakfast and I wanted to focus on the corn I dropped some of the ingredients from the original recipe. This ended up being one of the more interesting miso soups that I have made. It was pretty good though most of the corn ended up sitting at the bottom. (A thought just came to me: I could puree the corn the next time I make this.) Corn and butter are, of course a great combination and the milk made the soup creamier.

- Simmer for 2 minutes to cook the corn.

Kevin, you can try replacing the 1/4 milk with coconut milk. So good.
The coconut milk sounds good.
That's a bit amazing, really. Not being a corn lover, I don't see why I couldn't substitute any vegetable. Milk and miso… I have to have that. Sounds like comfort food.
