Mexican street corn is one of my absolute favorite foods ever!  If you’ve never had it it’s corn on the cob that is spread with butter, cotija cheese, cilantro and a whole host of other toppings.  This soup mimics those same flavors and is the perfect crossover soup to, hopefully, bid farewell to Winter and welcome Spring.
