Ingredients

  • 6 ears sweet corn, uncooked
  • 2 roasted poblano peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2/3 cup half and half
  • sliced green onions for garnish
  • tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To roast corn, preheat the broiler on your over. Brush corn with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, then place on a baking sheet. Broil for 15-20 minutes, rotating until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside. To roast peppers, see here. Once corn has cooled, cut it off the cob into a bowl. Cut peppers into chunks.
  2. In a large stock pot, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot add in onion and garlic along with salt and pepper, stirring to coat. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes until softened. Add in peppers and corn, stirring to combine well, then add in chicken stock and 1/3 cup half and half. Bring to a boil and continue to stir for 5 minutes, then turn off heat.
  3. Carefully transfer hot soup to a high-powered blender (or use an immersion blender if desired) and puree until smooth. I left a bit of texture to mine, but you can puree until totally creamy. Place back in the pot and turn heat to medium-low. Stir in remaining butter and half and half, then let cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 more minutes. Serve immediately with green onions and tortilla chips!
