Fresh Tomato Corn Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onions, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, pulse mixture in a food processor or blender until chunky (for a finer consistency, strain half of the mixture through a coarse sieve after pulsing). Thin with up to 1 cup water if desired. Reheat soup before serving. Toss together tomatoes, basil, and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish soup with tomato mixture, and drizzle with oil.

Steps:

• In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes. Place the cooked shallots, corn and chicken stock in a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Pour the corn mixture back into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tomatoes and basil.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes and juice in large bowl. Add corn, green onions, bell pepper, 2 tablespoons basil and garlic and blend well. Season to taste with hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Chill at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Ladle soup into four bowls, dividing evenly. Garnish with yogurt and chopped basil and serve.
