Green Chili And Corn Bisque Recipes

Steps:

• Set a 6-quart multi-cooker to the saute setting and add the butter. Add the bacon, onions and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the green chiles, corn and garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add 3 cups of the chicken stock.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 1/3 cup chicken stock. Add to the multi-cooker and stir well. Cover and position the vent to the sealing setting. Set the multi-cooker to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. When the time is up, carefully quick release the steam (it takes about 3 minutes), then remove the lid.
• Mix in the heavy cream. Stir in the cheeses until they have melted completely. Check the seasoning; add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately garnished with the green onions.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet until hot; add onions and cook slowly over low heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chilies, basil and marjoram, and continue cooking 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Add corn and stir. Add sugar and water, increase heat and bring liquid to a simmer. Add oyster juice, remove herbs and cool.
• Pour corn mixture into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, adding more water if too thick. Pass the soup though a fine mesh strainer into a pot over low heat and keep warm.
• In a saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; set aside. In another saute pan over medium heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add oysters and cook until barely warm, about 3 minutes. Pour any remaining oyster juice into the soup pot.
• Pour the soup into 8 warm bowls, arrange oysters and mushrooms in the center of each and garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook until soft. Do not allow them to obtain color.
• Plunge a knife between the eyes of the lobsters to dispatch them. Then split them in half lengthwise, and remove the sand sack. Separate into tail, claw, and chest pieces and add the sections to the vegetables. Add 1/2-cup water and cover the pan with a lid for 4 minutes. Remove lid and allow the water to evaporate, then turn off the heat. Remove the lobster pieces from the pan and set aside. When cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the tails and claws, and reserve the meat.
• Chop the shells into smaller pieces and return to the pan. Add the sherry and ignite. When the flames subside, add the wine and reduce by half. Add the water, parsley, cilantro, bay leaf, white peppercorns, poblano puree, and salt, to taste and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Remove most of the shells and pass the soup through a sieve into a clean medium saucepan, add the reserved lobster meat and cook until reduced to 2 cups. Blend the soup in a blender in batches then strain through a sieve into a clean, medium saucepan over medium low heat. Place the cream and milk in a small saucepan and reduce by half. Add the cream and cook until just heated through and season with honey, salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with Toasted Corn Relish.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Preheat grill to high. Remove ears from water. Roast corn for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and grill in the husk for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Peel the husk away, and cut corn away from the cob. Combine the corn kernels in a medium bowl with the red onion, roasted poblano, lime juice, olive oil, and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Keeping husks on corn, place corn on heavy rimmed baking sheet. Roast until corn is fragrant and husks brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool. Remove husks from corn. Cut off corn kernels and set aside.
• Char chili over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag and let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and quarter chili.
• Combine 3 1/2 cups water, broth and potato in large pot. Cover partially and simmer over medium heat until potato is tender, about 20 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer potato to processor; reserve cooking liquid. Add corn, chili and chopped cilantro to processor. Puree until mixture is as smooth as possible, gradually adding most of reserved cooking liquid through feed tube. Strain corn puree through sieve into large saucepan, pressing on solids. Mix in remaining cooking liquid and cream. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Bring soup to simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and then serve immediately.
