Corn Onion And Jalapeño Soup Food

CREAMY JALAPEñO CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Sauté the onion and celery: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, abut 5-8 minutes.
• Melt the butter in the pan and sprinkle with flour. Stir or whisk to combine until vegetables are coated. Cook for a few minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
• Turn the heat to high. Add in broth, milk, potatoes, jalapeños, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika. Bring this to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cover. Cook for ~8-10 minutes or until potatoes are tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom of your pot.
• Add in corn and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
• Blend some of the soup: Ladle 3 cups of the soup out of the pot and transfer to a high powdered blender (like a Vitamix). Blend until smooth and add back into the soup.
• Allow soup to come back to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with bacon, cheddar cheese, chives, more jalapeños, etc.

FRESH CORN CASSEROLE WITH RED BELL PEPPERS AND JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the corn from the husks. In a large, deep bowl, slice off the kernels of corn with a sharp knife. Turn the knife to the dull side and scrape the cob all the way down to remove all the bits of kernel and creamy milk inside. (I do this inside the bowl because it goes everywhere if you cut it on a board.)
• Add the red bell peppers, jalapenos, heavy cream, milk, salt to taste, a generous amount of pepper and butter and mix it well. Pour into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Bake until thoroughly warmed through, 30 to 45 minutes.

• Add the flour, stirring well, to make a pasty mixture. Whisk in the milk and the broth. Add the corn and the cream cheese and allow to heat through. Add the garlic salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir together and serve.
