A comforting and refined cream soup
This recipe highlights the natural sweetness of corn, the umami depth of black garlic, and the freshness of thyme. Simple to make and dairy-free, it quickly becomes a go-to for a light and comforting meal. Infusing fresh thyme adds a subtle note, but you can just as easily use dried thyme.
" This creamed corn is simple to make, but impressive to serve to guests. It showcases local ingredients, a recipe we love. " – François

Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of black garlic should be used for the recipe?
Our François Lambert black garlic cloves are ideal: sweet umami profile, notes of balsamic and dried fruit, perfect for a cream of corn.
Does dried thyme taste the same as fresh thyme?
The taste differs: the dried version is more intense and direct. Start with ½ tsp, taste and adjust.
Can black garlic be substituted?
As a quick fix, 1 tsp of white miso with ½ tsp of maple syrup mimics the sweet umami of black garlic, but the result will be less rich.
Can creamed corn be prepared in advance for entertaining?
Yes, this soup will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. Gently reheat it before serving and prepare the grilled corn topping at the last minute to keep it crunchy.
