Leftover crawfish boil corn soup (with pictures)

I've been experimenting with what to do with the left over corn. Today I decided on corn soup.

Ingredients:



15 pieces of corn from the boil (cut all corn off but keep the cobs)
garlic from the boil
fresh basil
fresh thyme
kosher salt
black pepper
butter
chicken stock
shallots

Put half a stick of butter in the pot
cook down a cup of chopped shallots, a couple cloves of garlic, salt, and pepper



Once they're soft, dump in 6 cups chicken stock, the corn, the cobs from the corn.
Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cook 10 mins



Add in 1.5 tbsps chopped fresh basil and a couple dashes of thyme:



cook that another 10 mins, then remove the cobs.
Remove from heat, and Use an immersion blender to make the soup creamy.
It takes an annoying amount of time to completely breakdown everything:



Once the soup is a good consistency and completely smooth,
add about a cup of corn off the cob back into the soup.



Enjoy:



So you can see how good it looks with the whole corn kernals:
