Ingredients

• Breadfruit: 2 cups (peeled and cubed)
• Sweet Corn: 1 cup (fresh or canned)

• Onion: 1 (chopped)
• Garlic: 2 cloves (minced)
• Fresh Thyme: 1 teaspoon
• Salt and Pepper: To taste

Method

1. Sauté the Aromatics:
   • In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
2. Cook the Breadfruit and Corn:
   • Add breadfruit, sweet corn, and thyme to the pot. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Simmer the Soup:
   • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the breadfruit is tender.
4. Add Coconut Milk:
   • Stir in the coconut milk and simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Blend and Serve:
   • Use an immersion blender to blend half of the soup for a creamy texture while keeping some chunks for a rustic feel. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

Chef’s Tip: For an extra burst of flavour, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a drizzle of lime juice just before serving.

Breadfruit and Corn Soup is a comforting bowl of tropical flavours, perfect for enjoying on its own or paired with a slice of crusty bread. It’s a hearty, nourishing dish that celebrates the bounty of the islands.
