This creamy corn soup has underlying earthiness from the hominy and heat from the jalapenos.

Fresh corn adds sweetness, which works well with the salty cotija cheese and other fresh and tangy garnishes.

Add corn; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 minutes.

Transfer 1/2 cup of the corn to a small bowl; set aside.

Pour the soup into a blender.

Secure the lid on the blender and remove the center piece of the lid to allow steam to escape.

Place a clean towel over the opening.

Process until smooth, about 1 minute.

(Use caution when blending hot liquids.)

Return the mixture to the pot.

Stir in lime juice and sugar.
