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.
