Introduction

Take a break from eating corn on the cob to make this simple soup. Pair with a grilled steak and green salad, and dinner's ready.

Ingredients

4 ears of corn (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 red onion, diced
1 Anaheim pepper, center ribs removed and diced
2 cups vegetable stock
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lime, zested and juiced
1/4 cup (one bunch) cilantro leaves, chopped


Directions

Heat a grill to moderate high heat. Place the corn, husks and silks still attached, on the grill. Close the grill and cook for 30 minutes. The corn will steam inside the husks. Remove from heat, and allow to cool until you are able to handle the corn. Remove the husks and silks, then strip the kernels from the cob.

Warm the oil in a medium saucepan over moderate heat, then add the cumin, onion and peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Add the corn and half of the stock; continue to cook for 2 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender or food processor and puree. Transfer back to saucepan and add the remaining stock. Heat just until warm.

Add the cilantro and lime just before serving.
