I saw this recipe in Bon Appetit's email newsletter. They said to serve it cold, but I decided it would be just as delicious hot so I skipped the chilling step. I also couldn't find chipotle in adobo at the "fancy" grocery store last night so I just used my chipotle Cholula instead. Absolutely delicious meal and on the table in about 15 minutes. Can't beat that!

Fresh Corn Soup with Chipotle

serves 4

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia or Maui)
3 cups fresh corn kernels (cut from about 3 ears of corn)
2 cups low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1 cup (or more) water
1 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle chiles
Fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add corn kernels, broth, and 1 tablespoon lime juice; bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until corn is just tender, about 3 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until almost smooth. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1 cup water (or more as needed to thin soup to desired consistency). Season corn soup to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer soup to large bowl; cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours or overnight.

Meanwhile, whisk remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and adobo sauce in small bowl to blend. Divide chilled corn soup among 4 bowls. Drizzle soup with adobo oil, then garnish with cilantro and serve.

Ingredients

1 c. chopped onion (about 1/2 of a large onion)

1 tsp. oil

1 day-old roll (about 2 oz.), softened in hot milk or water and squeezed dry.

1 lb. ground meat (half and half; pork and beef)

2 eggs

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper

3 T. chopped, fresh parsley or 1 T. dried parsley

1 T. chopped, fresh marjoram or 1 tsp. dried marjoram

1 T. butter

1 T. olive oil

Directions

Place chopped onion in a small bowl, drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high 2-3 minutes, or until translucent. Cool slightly.

Break softened roll into little pieces in a bowl, add meat and the rest of the ingredients and the cooked onion and mix well.

Heat butter and olive oil together in a frying pan. Form 4 patties and fry over medium high heat until browned on both sides. Place the patties on a baking sheet and place in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes, or until done.

My husband served the frikadellen alongside some rice with lemons and a salad.
