Ingredients:

4 Ears fresh sweet yellow corn
3 TSalted butter
1 White onion – finely diced
1 t Whole coriander seeds, crushed
2 Small zucchini or green calabaza squash – finely diced (about 2 cups)
6 C Water
1 t Kosher salt
1 T Shredded fresh epazote leaves
1/3 C Heavy cream or Mexican crema

Directions:

1. Remove and discard the husks and silk from the corn and cut the kernels from each cob. You should have about 3 cups of kernels. Reserve the cobs.
2. In a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onion, corn kernels, and coriander. Cover and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened but not brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a 5-quart slow cooker.
3. Add the corncobs, zucchini, water, and salt to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
4. Just before serving, remove and discard the corncobs and stir in the epazote. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each with a spoonful of crema.
