Corn Soup With Red Pepper Swirl image

Late summer is when corn and ripe peppers collide in the market. A well-seasoned purée of roasted red pepper swirled into this luscious soup makes a dramatic contrast to the corn's sweetness.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     soups and stews, vegetables, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large red bell pepper
1 or 2 fresh Fresno chiles, seeds removed, chopped
1 teaspoon pimentón (smoked paprika) or 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, diced
3 cups corn kernels (from 4 large ears) or 3 cups frozen corn kernels
6 garlic cloves
4 cups water, corn-cob broth (see Tip) or chicken broth
Lime wedges, for garnish

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for ripe, firm peppers with smooth skin. Avoid any peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on the grill.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly, then remove the seeds and ribs. This will make them easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of colors: Red, orange, and yellow peppers all have different flavors and textures. Using a variety of colors will add visual appeal and flavor to your dish.
  • Don't overcook the peppers: Overcooked peppers will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender.
