Cold sweet corn soup.

Slice the kernels off at least 4 ears of fresh sweet corn

and blend with 1 sauteed onion and 4 sauteed whole garlic cloves, 2 tbsps. lime juice, salt and pepper to taste, and the liquid of your choice—cream, milk, evaporated milk, chicken stock, or buttermilk.

Blend till relatively smooth-textured.

Open a can of chipotle peppers, and drain out the juice into a bowFile:Chipotlesenadobo.jpgl, reserving the peppers for another use. blend a bit of the reserved liquid with olive oil, and then drizzle this on top of each bowl of cold corn soup, adding a dollop of sour cream as well! Enjoy!
