Fabio Viviani Cooks

The Italian chef is making a chilled corn soup with Grana Padano-basic corn salad. Before getting started, he shares family photos of his baby, Gage. Fabio is a fan of creamy soups, so he uses both heavy cream and milk to make it that way. He advises you to stay away from buttermilk because of the acidity. Remember when preparing the soup, keep it at a simmer on the oven because it will eventually be chilled.
