Cheesy Corn And Skillet Roasted Pepper Soup Recipes

CHEESY CORN SKILLET DIP

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Add the corn and grill, turning onto all sides, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then remove the kernels.
• Put a cast-iron skillet on the grill and heat. Drizzle with some olive oil and add the onions. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the poblano slices and season with salt and pepper. Add the corn kernels to the skillet, then add the cheese and mix to combine. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and/or plantain chips for dipping.

CORN SOUP WITH RED PEPPER SWIRL

Steps:

• Place bell pepper over an open flame or under broiler and roast, turning frequently with tongs, until blackened and blistered all over, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Cut in half vertically. With a paring knife, remove seeds from each half, then turn over and scrape away the blackened skin. Do not rinse; a little remaining char is fine.
• Transfer roasted pepper to a blender or food processor and add Fresno chiles, pimentón, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend to a smooth thick purée. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and corn kernels. Season well with salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium. Cooking, stirring, until onions are softened and beginning to color, 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
• Add 3 cups water or broth and salt to taste. Simmer for 15 minutes, until corn is well cooked. Transfer to a blender and whiz to a smooth purée. Thin with water or broth to the consistency of heavy cream.
• Pass soup through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with the back of a large spoon or ladle to extract every drop of liquid. (This step is important to guarantee a velvety texture.) Discard any fibrous remains. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• To serve, reheat and ladle into shallow soup bowls. Swirl about 2 tablespoons pepper purée into the center of each bowl. Pass lime wedges at the table.

• When rice is done, add the garlic/corn/pepper mixture to the pot.
• Slice sausage into 1/4" thick half rounds and saute in skillet until browned.
