• Simmer the Soup
• Pour the corn puree into the soup pot and place over medium heat. Stir constantly for a few minutes, until the soup begins to thicken. Slowly whisk or stir in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.

FRESH TOMATO SOUP WITH SWEET CORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onions, garlic, and celery and sauté over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until all are golden. Add the water, tomatoes, and potato. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently until the potato is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the dill and seasoning, and simmer for 5 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, cook the corn until just tender, then drain and allow it to cool. When cool enough to handle, scrape the kernels off the cobs with a sharp knife. Combine the corn kernels with the creamer in a food processor and process until smoothly pureed. Place in a container and refrigerate until needed. Once the tomato mixture has cooled, puree it in batches in a food processor until smoothly pureed, then return to the soup pot. Or insert an immersion blender into the soup pot and process until well pureed.
• Add enough tomato juice to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled. To serve, fill each serving bowl about three-quarters full with the tomato soup. Place a ladleful of the sweet corn sauce in the center of each bowl, and garnish each serving with a sprinkling of fresh herbs.

Steps:

• 1. Roast the chiles directly over a gas flame, or under a preheated broiler, turning frequently with tongs, until charred all over, about 3 to 4 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent charring too much, or the chiles will get too soft. Put the chiles into a plastic bag, and let steam about 5 minutes. Wearing rubber gloves, peel, seed, and chop the chiles. Set aside. 2. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs over a large bowl, and scrape the cobs to get the remaining pulp. 3. In a large soup pot, bring the water and chicken broth to a boil. Add the corn kernels, corn pulp, onion, butter, and salt. Cook 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. 4. In a blender jar, purée the corn mixture and the reserved chopped chiles, in batches if necessary, until smooth. Add 1 cup of the cream, and blend again, about 30 seconds. 5. Pour the blended soup back into the same soup pot, and bring to a boil, over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the remaining 1 cup of cream and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until steaming hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Adjust seasoning. Put 2 tablespoons of diced cheese into the bottom of each soup bowl, and ladle the hot soup into the bowls.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
