When it comes to dinner, sometimes I’m just not in the mood for meat, veggies and a starch; I want something different. So, while thumbing through my Ellie Krieger cookbook I came across a recipe for Summer Corn and Vegetable Soup and knew that would be a great change-up. It called for lots of my favorite vegetables and it was more of a chowder style so I knew it would be hearty.<\/p>\n

I whipped a batch up one night and served it with a half of a sandwich. It was so filling! I couldn’t even finish my bowl. Greg was even satisfied by this “lighter” meal. It is jam packed with fresh and easy to find ingredients and is a cinch to make. What more could you ask for?<\/p>\n

Summer Corn and Vegetable Soup<\/h2>\n

Courtesy of The Food You Crave by Ellie Krieger<\/p>\n

4 cups fresh corn kernels or two 10 oz. packages frozen corn, thawed
\n2 cups non-fat milk
\n1 tbs. olive oil
\n1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
\n1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
\n1 small zucchini (about \u00bd lb.), diced
\n2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
\n2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
\n\u00be tsp. salt
\nFreshly ground black pepper to taste
\n\u00bd cup fresh basil leaves, cut into ribbons<\/p>\n

Put 2 cups of the corn and the milk into a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups corn and the broth and bring to a boil. Add the pureed corn and the tomatoes and cook until warmed through but not boiling. Add the salt and season with pepper. Serve garnished with the basil ribbons.<\/p>\n
