It is almost time for fresh sweet corn in most parts of the United States! Take advantage of the season and make this fresh corn soup. In this recipe, dulse is pan-fried until crispy and used to garnish the sweet and creamy soup. Dulse is a salty sea vegetable high in minerals that can be used in place of bacon or ham in sandwiches, salads, and soups. This soup can be served warm or cool. You may also garnish with fresh basil, mint, cilantro (as pictured), and/or scallion instead of dulse.
