Polenta Soup image

This recipe comes from the Monday to Friday Cookbook by Michele Urvater. We really love the flavor of it, but find it is not substantial enough for dinner by itself. It is, however, excellent with ham (or grilled cheese) sandwiches. This could easily be turned into a vegetarian dish, as well, by substituting water or vegetable stock for the chicken stock.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes
1 -2 tablespoon corn oil or 1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 cups chicken stock
10 ounces frozen corn kernels
4 ounces canned diced green chiles
1/4 cup fresh cilantro or 1/4 cup parsley
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Core and finely chop the tomatoes, reserving the juices.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, tomatoes, reserved juices, stock, corn and chiles. Bring liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot and cook gently over low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile rinse and mince the cilantro (or parsley).
  • While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the cornmeal into the simmering soup. Simmer gently, uncovered, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Make sure you occasionally stir the bottom of the pot to prevent the cornmeal from sticking.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would add more broth next time.

This polenta soup is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I also added some chopped kale and spinach to the soup, which gave it a nice boo
