Servings: persons

1 red onion (8 oz.), peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cups fresh corn kernels (see below)
2 cups milk
1 cup canned coconut milk (see notes)
1/2 cup fat-skimmed chicken broth or water
1 fresh serrano chili, rinsed, stemmed, seeded, and minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
5 fresh basil leaves, slivered (see notes)
Salt and pepper
Lime wedges

1
In a 4- to 5-quart pan over medium-high heat, stir onion in olive oil until limp, 3 to 5 minutes.
2
Stir in corn, milk, coconut milk, broth, and chili; bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender to bite, 10 to 15 minutes.
3
With a slotted spoon, remove about 2 cups corn kernels from pan and reserve. In a blender or food processor, working in batches and holding down lid with a towel, whirl remaining corn mixture until smooth. Return to pan.
4
Add lime juice, basil, and reserved corn. Stir soup over medium heat until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with lime wedges.
5
Cutting kernels: An average ear of corn weighs from 10 to 14 ounces and yields about 1 cup of kernels. To remove them, with a large, sharp knife, cut off and discard the stem end of each ear down to the beginning of the kernels. Pull off and discard the husks and silks; rinse ears. Holding each ear upright, shear off the kernels close to the cob.
