Steps:
- Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion and garlic; sauté until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices to pot; cook 2 minutes. Combine 2 cups water and chipotle chilies in blender and puree. Mix puree and cream-style corn into vegetables in pot. Bring soup to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add frozen corn, cream and oregano; simmer 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
- *Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.
Tips:
- Use a variety of tomatoes for a more complex flavor. Green tomatoes add a tartness that balances the sweetness of the red tomatoes, while cherry tomatoes add a burst of sweetness and color.
- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. Roasting intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky depth of flavor.
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Add a variety of herbs and spices to the soup for a more flavorful broth. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, cumin, and chili powder.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, sour cream, or crumbled cheese before serving.
Conclusion:
Green and red tomato and corn soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet and tart tomatoes, sweet corn, and flavorful herbs and spices makes this soup a winner. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
