Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 corn cobs
5 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 chopped sweet onion
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 chopped tomatoes
2 peeled, chopped potatoes
Chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Remove the kernels from the ears of corn and set aside.
  • Place the 4 stripped corn cobs in 5 cups water in a large pot (you can add a whole onion here - don't bother to peel it - or a sprig of rosemary, tarragon or oregano, if you'd like). Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, then remove cobs and any onion or herbs.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil. Sauté sweet onion and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add 1/4 cup cornmeal and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes.
  • Add onion, garlic and cornmeal mixture to broth. Add tomatoes, potatoes and reserved corn. Cook until potatoes are fork tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

I would not recommend this soup. It was bland and flavorless.

This soup was amazing! The flavors were so rich and creamy and the corn and tomatoes tasted farm fresh! I made a double batch and froze half of it for later.

This soup was okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices.
