Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Make soup: Heat oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften and edges are browned, about 4 minutes. Add cilantro stems and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add squash pieces and cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Stir in water, coconut milk, corn cobs, salt, and cayenne and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until squash is very tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare corn relish while soup simmers: Whisk together lime juice, salt, and sugar in a bowl, then add oil and whisk until combined.
  3. Cook corn kernels in a saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a sieve, then rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain well, then transfer to dressing along with cilantro and shallot and toss well to coat.
  4. Finish soup: Discard corn cobs, then purée soup in batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids) until smooth, transferring to a 2-quart measure.
  5. Divide soup among bowls and gently stir 1/4 cup corn relish into each.
  6. Cooks' notes: · Soup (without corn relish) can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat before serving. · Corn relish can be made 1 hour ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.
