  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh corn (or 2 cups frozen corn)
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Chop the onion and red bell pepper, and husk the corn if using fresh cobs.
