I feel like I have posted a million and a half corn soup recipes lately, but it's been one of my favorite things to eat for our weekly soup night. I also feel like I don't eat corn often or nearly as often as I used to, so I make up for that with a soup chock full of corn.

I grew up in Minnesota, so corn is something that always reminds me of summer. I lived in a very small town with a population of 350 people and we were surrounded by cornfields. Local farmers would come into town with their truck beds full of sweet corn during the summer and I absolutely loved going with my mom to buy a bunch of ears. Perhaps that is where my love of corn soup has come from lately. Maybe I'm feeling a bit nostalgic :)

My other favorite corn soup is this Cheesy Jalapeno Corn Chowder because cheese and also the little bit of heat from the jalapenos is fabulous. I have been wanting to try Mexican Street Corn for so so long and haven't gotten around to making it yet, but I found a recipe for it in soup form from Food Network: Mexican Corn Soup. YUM!
