Southwest Corn Soup Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Put the oiled corn on a baking sheet and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Put the oiled tomatoes on another baking sheet and roast them both for 10 to 12 minutes until the tomato skin blisters and the corn is lightly browned. In a medium skillet, grill the red pepper over medium-high heat until it is black on each side. Put the tomatoes and the pepper in the refrigerator, and peel them when they have cooled.
• Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat and add the onion and garlic and saute. Add the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, roasted corn, peeled tomatoes, half-and-half, and 1 1/4 cups of the tortilla chip pieces and mix well. Pour this mixture in a food processor or blender* and puree until smooth. Strain the chowder, and then season it with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, to taste. Peel and dice the roasted red pepper. Serve the soup topped with diced avocado, red pepper, and the remaining tortilla chip pieces. Serve immediately.

SOUTHWEST CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Step 1: In mini-blender, blend roasted garlic, red pepper, juice of one lime. Step 2: Chop jalapeno, onion, not too small, big enough chunks for a hearty soup. Saute both on medium-high heat until onion is clear. Put potatoes in a soup pot big enough for at least six cups of water, simmer on low heat with boullion, cumin, salt/pepper. Step 3: When onions/jalapeno are done, put in with potatoes. Bring to a boil until potatoes are half done. Put in other ingredients(blended ingredients/corn/heavy cream). Turn to medium heat to simmer. This next part is the most tedious but important part of the recipe. Step 4: While soup is simmering, add lime/cumin for desired taste. Usually I stand over the soup for about 10 min, and slowly add lime/cumin. The final taste should be tangy, with a hit of spicyness. The lime brings all of the flavors together. When the desired taste is achieved, toss in cilantro, this too is depended on preference. The cilantro also contributes in bringing the flavors together. Sometimes, I even add more lime to the soup after the cilantro. Step 5: Serve hot, with a side of lime wedge and cilantro.
