Remove corn kernels from the cobs using a knife on an angle. Set kernels aside.

Mix the zucchini and corn into the onion and garlic and cover until zucchini is tender; about 10 minutes.
Uncover and stir the suero/buttermilk into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper; stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer.
