Motley and Tsuchi were slightly curious about the corn soup thing I was gonna make, so here's what I ended up with tonight.
It came out surprisingly well. I used three cans of expired, or about to expire canned sweet corn, and one big bag of frozen sweet corn that also sat at the bottom of a freezer for about two years.

Even then it actually came out p-damn good.

6 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh or roughly 5 cans of corn, drained)
2 cups water
1 pint heavy cream
1/2 head of garlic, minced (roughly 5-6 cloves)
2 tbsp better than bouillon, roasted chicken base
1 tsp paprika (or chili powder)
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp lime zest
lime juice of roughly one lime, squeezed
1 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
