Corn Onion And Jalapeño Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium low heat. Cook and stir jalapeno pepper in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until the onion is soft, about 2 minutes more. Add corn. Season mixture with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until the corn is hot, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle cilantro over the mixture, stir, and simmer another 30 to 60 seconds.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter or oil, and cook the onion, stirring until the onion begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients except the salt, and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Add salt and serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
