Roasted Corn And Pepper Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place bell pepper over an open flame or under broiler and roast, turning frequently with tongs, until blackened and blistered all over, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Cut in half vertically. With a paring knife, remove seeds from each half, then turn over and scrape away the blackened skin. Do not rinse; a little remaining char is fine.
• Transfer roasted pepper to a blender or food processor and add Fresno chiles, pimentón, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend to a smooth thick purée. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and corn kernels. Season well with salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium. Cooking, stirring, until onions are softened and beginning to color, 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
• Add 3 cups water or broth and salt to taste. Simmer for 15 minutes, until corn is well cooked. Transfer to a blender and whiz to a smooth purée. Thin with water or broth to the consistency of heavy cream.
• Pass soup through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with the back of a large spoon or ladle to extract every drop of liquid. (This step is important to guarantee a velvety texture.) Discard any fibrous remains. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• To serve, reheat and ladle into shallow soup bowls. Swirl about 2 tablespoons pepper purée into the center of each bowl. Pass lime wedges at the table.

Steps:

• Slice the peppers in half lengthwise; remove stem, seeds and membrane. Place under the broiler skin side up until the skin turns black and blisters. Remove and immediately place in a small paper bag or plastic container with a tight lid. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes; this will loosen the roasted skin. Remove peppers and rub off the black skin with your fingers. Chop skinned peppers and set aside.
• Saute the butter, onions, and garlic until soft in a heavy bottomed soup pot on medium-low heat. Add the reserved red peppers, tomato paste, and chicken stock. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat, and then simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cornstarch mixed with a little cold water to thicken. Simmer 5 minutes. *Let the soup cool slightly, and then blend in batches in a blender, or use an immersion blender to puree. Sprinkle the roasted corn over the soup before serving and top with a dollop of Cilantro Lime Sour Cream.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients vigorously until light and creamy.

Steps:

• Thaw frozen corn and pat dry with paper towel. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil.
• Spread corn evenly on pan, then roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway.
• In a large dutch oven, cook onion and red pepper in oil until tender. Add the corn, 3 cans of broth, thyme and ground red pepper. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• In a jar with a lid, combine remaining chicken broth and the flour. Cover and shake well. Add to soup and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly.
• Stir cream into soup and heat through. Stir in crabmeat, then serve.

Steps:

• Combine the rice, broth and water in a large stock pot and simmer covered for about 1 hour, or until rice is soft.
• While the rice is cooking, roast the red peppers over a gas burner, under a broiler or on a grill. Try to get entire skin charred.
• Once charred, transfer the peppers to a plastic bag and let sit for 15 minutes. Remove peppers, peel, remove the seeds and slice into thin 1" long strips. Set aside.
• Heat oil in skillet, add garlic and saute over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add corn and saute an additional 3-5 minutes. If you're using frozen corn, try to partially thaw it first and remove as much ice and water as possible.
• Once corn is done, remove from heat and add the chopped up peppers to the skillet.
• When rice is done, add the garlic/corn/pepper mixture to the pot.
• Slice sausage into 1/4" thick half rounds and saute in skillet until browned.
• Add the browned sausage to the pot and season with 1tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste. Give it a taste and add the sambal olek if you want a little heat.
• Let simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until it starts to get quite thick.
