Onion, garlic and corn need little else for a delectable summertime (or anytime!) soup. This makes a pretty luncheon starter dish, and is also great as a super simple potluck dinner offering. Corn is naturally hearty, so it needs little else to bulk it up. Be sure to puree the three cups for thickening the soup until smooth and velvety for a silky broth studded with sweet kernels. Top with some fresh dill and chives along with the basil. A dollop of light sour cream or yogurt could add extra depth.
