Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium zucchinis, diced

4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice for brightness

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Cook the Zucchini: Add the diced zucchini to the pot and continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender.

      Add Corn and Broth: Stir in the corn kernels and the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow all flavors to meld.

        Blend Until Smooth: Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture in batches to a blender.)

          Incorporate Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk. Mix thoroughly until the soup is heated through.

            Season the Soup: Add the smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, stir in the lemon juice for a touch of brightness.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Drizzle with a little extra coconut milk if you like for added creaminess.
