This bright yellow chilled soup is thrumming with sweetcorn’s delicious flavour, balanced out by yellow pepper and jalapeño for a Mexican-inspired finish. A light little starter or lunch for a summer dinner party.

Chilling the soup overnight is crucial as it helps the flavours to develop and meld together, so don’t be tempted to rush it. Find more no-cook recipes for summer here.

Method

Halve the spring onions where the white and green parts meet. Roughly chop the white halves and put in a blender with the sweetcorn, tomato, pepper, garlic, jalapeńos and their liquor, lime juice and 150ml cold water. Whizz for a few minutes until very smooth, then season with a pinch of salt, cover and transfer to the fridge to chill overnight.
Finely slice the spring onion greens and combine with the coriander, vinegar and oil. Season with salt, then drizzle over the chilled soup before serving. Garnish with shavings of frozen feta (a potato peeler works brilliantly for this), if using.

When it’s hot, we like to keep a 75g half block of feta in the freezer – it’s delicious shaved over salads or pasta too! Wrap it up well in its packet and a freezer bag, or in parchment paper, then shave or grate on top of your meal.
