2 fresh cobs of sweet corn
2 tablespoons Onion-Infused Oil, made with olive oil, or purchased equivalent
½ cup (32 g) chopped scallions, green parts only
6 cups (1.4 L) Low FODMAP Vegetable Broth
12- ounces (340 g) Yukon Gold, yellow-skinned or red-skinned waxy potatoes, diced
4 plum tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 carrot, trimmed and scrubbed, cut in half crosswise
½ stalk celery, cut in half crosswise
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil, plus extra
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
½ pound (225 g) raw shrimp peeled and deveined
½ medium zucchini, trimmed and diced

Shuck the corn and discard the husks and silk. Cut the corn from the cob, reserving any juices and the kernels. Save the cobs.
Heat the oil in a large stockpot over low heat and add the scallions. Sauté for a few minutes until softened. Add the corncobs to the pot along with Vegetable Broth, potatoes tomatoes, carrot, celery and 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil. Bring to a simmer, covered, and simmer for 20 minutes or until. Potatoes should be tender and the flavors will have come together. Taste and season with some salt and pepper, as desired.
Remove and discard the corncobs, and carrot and celery pieces. Add the shrimp and zucchini along with corn kernels and any juices. Bring back to a simmer for and cook just until zucchini is tender and shrimp has turned opaque. Soup is ready to serve, garnished with extra fresh basil.
Soup may be cooled and refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

If you do not have Vegetable Broth around, you could use 6 cups (1.4 L) of water and then use a dry vegetable soup base or “bouillon” cube in the amount that works with 6 cups (1.4 L) of water. Low FODMAP, of course. We keep Fody Vegetable Soup Base in our pantry just for moments like this.
