Ingredients

2 teaspoons canola oil
1 cup finely chopped green and/or red sweet pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 package (12 oz) frozen corn
1 cup Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 cups fat-free milk
8 ounces peeled and deveined cooked medium shrimp, thawed and drained if frozen, and halved, if desired
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup Yoplait® fat free plain yogurt

Steps:

In a large saucepan heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sweet pepper and onion; cook about 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add curry powder, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute.
Stir in corn and chicken broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook about 5 minutes or until corn is tender. Cool about 10 minutes.
Transfer the corn mixture to a blender or food processor.* Add 1/2 cup of the milk. Cover and blend or process until mixture is nearly smooth. Return pureed mixture to saucepan; stir in the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk and the shrimp. Heat through (do not boil). Stir in snipped cilantro.
To serve, spoon soup into soup bowls. Top individual servings with yogurt and cilantro sprigs.
*Note: If using a food processor, process half the mixture at a time using 1/4 cup of the milk with each half.
