I’m joining BooMama and others in the bloggy world for Soup-Tacular. If you’d like to see more soup recipes click here and enjoy the carnival…
I found this wonderful recipe in the Better Home and Gardens Hometown Cooking February 2000 edition. I tweaked a couple things.
Mexican Corn Soup (prep: 15 min. Cooking: 10 min.)
1 – 16 ounce pkg. frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1 – Cup chicken broth (I used the whole can of chicken broth and just 1 cup of milk instead of two so I wouldn’t have a half a can of broth left.
2 – Tablespoons butter or margarine
1 – 4-1/2 ounce can diced green chili peppers
1 – clove garlic, minced
1 – Tablespoon snipped fresh oregano or l tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1/4 – tsp. salt
1/4 – tsp. ground black pepper
2 – cups milk (I used one cup see chicken broth above)
1 – cup chopped, cooked chicken
1 – cup chopped tomatoes (I used a can of diced tomatoes w/jalapeno, med/hot)
1 – cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (4 oz.)
cilantro as garnish if you like it
[The soup is great with the full can of broth and tomatoes. I do not like half cans left over. ]
In a blender container combine half of the corn and the chicken broth. Cover; blend until nearly smooth.
In a large saucepan, combine corn puree, remaining corn, butter, chili peppers, garlic, dried oregano (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir in milk, chicken, tomatoes, and fresh oregano (if using); heat through. remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired (this is where I substitute cilantro instead)
Enjoy

Sounds absolutely delicious. I’m gonna try it.
And yes…now you piqued my interests on the photo you took with me in mind….can’t wait. Just make sure you drop by and let me know. *excited*
Yummy! I will be over at 11:30 for a bowl! 😉
Maybe you can help me out with something…? I want to order all of my food online from now on because of various reasons, but I don’t know where to go for quality food. I have tried 2 companies so far, Fresh Dining, and and Celebrity Foods, but I wanna get others I can try out. Do you know of any? The main thing I’ve ordered so far is steak. I guess you can say, I’m a steak junkie. LOL!!! From what I have found out (from what I have ordered so far) I think I am able to regulate the quality of beef I buy. I hate going to a store and getting that crappy slab of beef that I have to cut down until there is like nothing left. Hahaha!!!! (its so true though) Anyhow, sorry that I made this comment so long. If you can help me out or point me in a direction where I might find more quality foods online, I would greatly appreciate it. Have a good day or night! (depending on when you read this) LOL!!!!
Leo, I really don’t have any great tips for you. I buy my food at the local grocery stores and costco. I do know some people who do farm share. You might want to google that and see if anyone in your area does it too. I think you go in with a group of people and then you get a box of fresh organice vegetables, eggs, etc. I hope you find what you’d like.
I loved the soup at it’s title. I sucked in my drool and kept reading and then I got to the bottom of the post and saw your mom’s borscht recipe and I am regrettting not picking up borscht ingredients at the market today like I considered doing. We are having some pea soup though. That’s pretty yummy too.
Yum – thanks for that great recipe – I am such a soup girl at this time of the year.
The soup sounds delicious. I’ll give that one a try.
Sounds good and spicy with your tweaking. I’m ging to print this one and try it sometime.
love it
Soup for body and soul. I’ll have to print and file this, Ellen.
Won’t you stop by? There is a little surprise waiting for you!
That looked absolutely scrumptious!
By the way, Ellen I have a TAG for you.
