SWEET SUMMER CORN SOUP
Steps:
- Heat the stock in a large pot until it comes to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer. While it's heating, cut off the corn kernels from the cobs (cutting in a large salad bowl helps keep the kernels from flying all over). You should have about 4 1/2 cups/680 g of kernels. Place the 6 cobs in the stockpot, and simmer them covered, while you prepare the rest of the soup ingredients (for at least 20 minutes).
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 3 minutes. Add the celery and thyme and sauté for another 4 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Remove the cobs from the stockpot with tongs, and place them on a plate to cool. Add the sautéed vegetables, potatoes, 1 tsp salt, paprika, 1/4 tsp pepper, cayenne, and coriander to the pot and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, when the cooked cobs are cool enough to handle, take a sturdy knife and scrape down the sides of the cobs to collect the remainder of the kernels. This should yield about 1 cup/150 g of kernel bits.
- After the soup has cooked for 25 minutes, stir in the soymilk, corn kernels, and corn kernel bits. Simmer for 3 minutes. Remove 1 qt/960 ml of the soup and puree it in a blender or food processor until it's very smooth. Return the puree to the soup pot, and heat until it returns to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- While the soup simmers, hold the whole bell pepper with metal tongs over an open flame on the stovetop. Turn it frequently until the skin is charred all the way around, about 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat and let cool. Using a clean dishcloth, rub off the charred skin. Remove the stem and seeds and cut the flesh into a fine dice. Set aside.
- Turn off the heat for the soup and stir in the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each one with some of the red bell pepper. Serve immediately.

SUMMER CORN SOUP
This salty yet sweet, creamy yet crunchy fresh corn chowder was developed for The Times by Wade Burch, the executive chef of several restaurants owned by Merchants Hospitality in New York, for a series of articles about chefs who cook with their children. It's loaded with fresh corn (12 ears worth) and dotted with jalapeño and red bell pepper. It does take a little time owing to the corn stock, but it's so worth it. The taste of the finished soup is pure summer.

SUMMER CORN SOUP WITH SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and saute to coat. Cook until the onions just start to turn light brown. Peel the potato and cut into cubes, add it to the onion. Cut the kernels of corn off the cob with a sharp knife, add them to the soup pot. Add the broth, spices and a few grinds of fresh pepper and allow everything to simmer to cook the corn and potatoes through. If using raw shrimp, toss them in the olive oil and a grind of fresh pepper, and put on a baking pan. Cut the poblano or pasilla chile in half length wise, and place it skin side up on the pan as well. Bake on the upper rack for about 5 minutes for shrimp to cook through. Remove the shrimp and set aside, put the pepper back in until the skin blisters (about 5 more minutes). While waiting, peel the skin and tails from the shrimp and cut into 1'' pieces. Remove the pepper and put it in a ziploc bag to cool, this will make the skin easy to peel off. Check on the soup to make sure potato and corn are cooked through. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup to create a puree. I like to leave it a bit chunky, this is up to you. In a seperate bowl, combine the shrimp pieces, lime juice, chopped herbs and scallions if using them. Peel and cut the avocado into small cubes, add to the bowl. Rub the skin off the roasted chile, cut into chunks. Toss gently together. Taste the soup for seasonings and adjust as you prefer. Allow people to stir in their sour cream as desired. Serve each portion of soup with a big scoop of the shrimp and avocado mix on top.

- Use fresh, sweet corn. This is the key to a great corn soup. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Roast the corn before adding it to the soup. This step intensifies the corn's flavor and gives the soup a slightly smoky taste.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and texture. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the soup. Corn soup is best when it is slightly thick, but not too thick. Cook it just until the vegetables are tender.
- Add shrimp for a protein boost. Shrimp is a great addition to corn soup, and it cooks quickly so you don't have to worry about overcooking it.
- Season the soup to taste. Corn soup is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve the soup hot or cold. Corn soup is delicious served hot or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it thoroughly before serving.
