Ingredients
4 ears of corn (about 1 cup)2 teaspoons olive oil1 red onion, diced 1 Anaheim pepper, center ribs removed and diced 2 cups vegetable stock1 teaspoon cumin seed1/2 teaspoon black pepper1 lime, zested and juiced1/4 cup (one bunch) cilantro leaves, chopped
Directions
Heat a grill to moderate high heat. Place the corn, husks and silks still attached, on the grill. Close the grill and cook for 30 minutes. The corn will steam inside the husks. Remove from heat, and allow to cool until you are able to handle the corn. Remove the husks and silks, then strip the kernels from the cob.

Warm the oil in a medium saucepan over moderate heat, then add the cumin, onion and peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Add the corn and half of the stock; continue to cook for 2 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender or food processor and puree. Transfer back to saucepan and add the remaining stock. Heat just until warm.

Add the cilantro and lime just before serving.

    I've pureed 2 cups of the corn, and reserved 2 cups of kernels to add back in for some texture in this type of soup. A swirl of Greek yogurt is an elegant finishing touch. Garnish with a basil sprig on the yogurt swirl. Dash paprika for color. - 7/10/12

    I made this exactly as the recipe directs, and it was excellent. It made less than 4 cups - maybe only 3 - 3.5 - but I suspect my ears of corn were on the small side. I will make it again! - 7/17/12

    I will have to try this. Sounds yummy. I cook ears of corn in the microwave. For about 4 ears of corn, I cook it, husk & all, for about 12 minutes. I love the flavor & the crispiness of it. - 7/10/13

    This was my first Spark resipe. Very easy, lots of flavor. Left out the peppers and still was great. The lime and cilantro add lots of flavor. I added in some plain Greek yogurt for a little creamy texture. Will make again! - 7/12/12

    I also reckon this would make into a brill smoothie - my thoughts have been turning Smoothie recently, given recent increase in Juice information. - 7/10/12

    This is very similar to my mothers. Instead of roasting corn I will use Tradr Joe's frozed roasted corn kernals. I usually have a small roll with soup but for this one I may just make some pita crisps to go with this soup. - 11/24/12

    This is very good but I left out the cilantro. I also like NANCYHOME247's idea of reserving some of the corn for texture. - 7/10/12

    I pureed this soup and did without the cilantro, it just seemed to please my palate more. - 7/10/13

    We love corn and I can't wait to try the recipe. I will use either shoepeg corn or part frozen and a can of shoepeg. It sounds so yummy. I love so many recipes and this is my first time commenting. - 11/27/12
