Zucchini Corn And Green Chile Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the kernels from the ears of corn and set aside.
• Place the 4 stripped corn cobs in 6 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, then remove.
• In a skillet, heat a few glugs of olive oil. Add the chopped scallions and green chiles and sauté. Add 1/4 cup cornmeal and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes.
• Add the scallion-and-chili mixture to broth along with the corn kernels and 2 chopped potatoes. Cook until soft. Garnish with crema or sour cream, if you'd like, and the sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Place the corn in a saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Place a cover on the saucepan, reduce heat to medium, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Mix the zucchini and tomato into the onion and garlic; cook together 5 minutes. Stir the corn kernels into the mixture; add the poblano pepper. Season with salt and pepper; stir. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the cotija cheese to serve.

Steps:

• Cut the corn off the ears. Slice chiles and chop. Slice and cube the zucchini. In a hot skillet heat olive oil. As soon as you see a small stream of smoke from the skillet, add corn, chiles, and zucchini. Saute the vegetables until tender, but still al dente. Add the butter and garlic and toss to combine. Season with salt, to taste.

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken stock, if using homemade. Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan, and cook the onion over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, zucchini, corn, chopped chiles, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the zucchini is tender, about to 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, stir together the corn, milk, green chiles, cumin, pepper, and cayenne. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the bell pepper, green onions, and margarine. Serve sprinkled with cheddar.
• Cooking tip on thawing frozen vegetables: To thaw frozen vegetables quickly, put them in a colander and run them under cold water until thawed. Shake off the excess water and drain well.

Steps:

• 1. Working over an open flame on a gas burner or under the broiler of the oven, cook the chiles, turning until charred all over. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel, seed and dice the chiles. Invert a small bowl in a large bowl (or use a bundt pan using hole in top to support corn cob). Place one corn cob upright on top of the small bowl. Cut the kernels off the cob (they'll fall into the big bowl). Repeat with the other corn cob.
• 2. Meanwhile, heat a Dutch oven or other large pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil, two turns of the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2-4 minutes. Add the zucchini onion, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Stir until the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in half of the beans. In a medium bowl, mash the remaining beans with a fork; stir into the vegetables (this will help thicken the chili). Add the stock, tomatoes, honey and chiles.
• 3. Cover and simmer until the flavors combine, 10-15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Serve with your choice of toppings.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot, and saute the onion and garlic until tender. Season with oregano.
• Mix in the chicken broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Mix in the zucchini, yellow squash, corn, and chile peppers. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
• Mix the cubed processed cheese into the soup. Continue to cook and stir until cheese is melted. Season with pepper. Mix in the cilantro just before serving.
