Cream Of Patty Pan Squash And Sweet Corn Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place dried navy beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
• Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of water in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and more water if necessary; saute for 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth, pre-soaked beans, curry powder, lemon balm, white pepper, and cayenne; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are nearly tender, about 1 hour. Add squash to the simmering beans and bring back to a very slow boil. Simmer until squash and beans are tender, about 30 minutes more. Allow to cool slightly; use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to blend until soup is smooth and creamy.
• Add corn to the pot and adjust seasoning as necessary. Heat to a slow boil and then reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer until corn is tender, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the onion and garlic until slightly tender. Mix in the vegetable broth and corn kernels, and cook until heated through. Mix in the squash and zucchini. Cover, and continue cooking 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until squash and zucchini are tender.
• Mix the parsley and butter into the skillet with the squash. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until butter is melted, and serve hot.

Using slotted spoon, transfer okra to paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wipe out skillet. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add corn, squash, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; cover and cook until squash is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in okra, cilantro, and green onions. Remove from heat.

Steps:

• Before shredding, cut out the stem of the squash, but there's no need to peel it.
• If the squash is large, more than 4 inches across, you may wish to cut out the bigger seeds.
• Preheat about 1/2 inch oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet.
• Beat the eggs, milk and oil into the squash in a large bowl, then add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined with a few strokes.
• Drop tablespoons of batter into hot oil-- in a big skillet, you can cook up to 8 at a time.
• Cook until brown, turn with a spatula and cook the other side until brown.

Steps:

• Cut summer squash crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Shuck corn and, working over a bowl, cut kernels from cobs. Halve cobs. Chop shallots and mince garlic. Wearing rubber gloves, chop chile, with seeds if desired.
• In a 5-quart heavy kettle combine all ingredients (including cobs) except water and cook over moderate heat, stirring, 3 minutes. Stir in water and simmer mixture until squash is very tender, about 15 minutes. Discard cobs. In a blender puree mixture in batches until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), transferring to another bowl. Season soup with salt and pepper. Divide soup between 2 bowls and garnish with corn, chiles, cilantro, small dollops of sour cream, and squash.
