Light vegetable oil cooking spray

6 c fresh corn kernels (12 ears), including corn milk collected as the kernels are removed from the cob
3 c chicken stock
1/2 c red pepper, chopped
1/2 t fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 t dried thyme
1/8 t freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne Pepper, to taste
1 T fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

Preheat large, heavy saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute. Spray it twice with oil. Sauté onion for 5 minutes, until translucent. Add 4 cups of the corns and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until it softens a bit. Add 2 cups of the chicken stock and cook until the corn can be mashed easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Transfer soup into a blender, or use a stick blender, to puree until mostly smooth. Return to saucepan over medium-low heat, Add bell pepper, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, cayenne pepper and remaining corn and chicken stock.
