Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
2 cups (or more) water
2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chilies*
2 14 3/4-ounce cans cream-style corn
1 16-ounce package frozen corn
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion and garlic; sauté until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices to pot; cook 2 minutes. Combine 2 cups water and chipotle chilies in blender and puree. Mix puree and cream-style corn into vegetables in pot. Bring soup to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add frozen corn, cream and oregano; simmer 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
