This soup blend is perfect for the fall and winter times. You can prepare this soup with or without the flour, cheese, and sour cream to make it lighter or into a vegan dish! Either way, the taste is fantastic!

1 1/2 C. Tomatoes, diced
1 fresh Red Chile Pepper, seeded and chopped
½ C. Yellow Onion, chopped
¼ C. Green Onion, chopped

In blender or food processor combine 1 cup of your tomatoes, and 2 ears of your corn. Blend until smooth. In a large pot, cook chile pepper, yellow & green onion, salt, and garlic in your olive oil until tender. Add in your corn mixture, remaining kernels, broth, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.
If using flour & sour cream: In a small bowl stir your flour into your sour cream. Now stir in about two tablespoons of your soup. Mix your sour cream mixture into the rest of your soup. Bring to a light boil.

mmmmmm
it was so good. I've never cooked in this way before and i was really skeptical about how it would all turn out, but i was pleasantly suprised.
I think i messed up by blending whole ears of corn, which left hard bits in the soup, but other than that this is a recipe I will make again.
i need to start checking
i need to start checking these more and more.
I am definately going to try this receipe and give 2 cents l8tr.
Tastes good too!!
I prepared this dish for my family and it was a big hit. My little Prince said it was OK because it had too much "green stuff". He was referring to the cilantro. He loves spinach. Next Time I'll use less of the cilantro and maybe exclude the cheese. I didn't add the sour cream either. But overall it was a hit and there WILL be a next time for this dish. I highly recommend it! DELISH!
Looks so good!
This looks so delicious and easy to make. I have most these ingredients at home. Please keep sharing these healthy meals.
