Introduction
We love this soup for dinner served with tortilla chips, guacamole and salsa for dipping. You can adjust the heat in each bowl by adding fresh chopped peppers of your choice, hot sauce, a sprinkle of chili powder - or none of the above.

Ingredients
-
Sweet Corn, Fresh, 2 cups or the corn cut from 6 fresh cobs of sweet corn
Onions, raw, .5 cup, chopped
Garlic, 4 clove
Chicken Broth (or vegetable broth), 3 cups
Water, 3 cups
Corn Meal, 3 tbsp
Beans, black, 2 cup
Stewed tomatoes 1 cup, chopped, with juice
Peppers, sweet, red, raw, sliced, 1 cup
Cumin 1T
Smoked paprika**** if you don't have this, you can toss in a little Chorizo sausage, some smoked salt (I get Alder smoked salt at the grocery store in the deli aisle - deeeeeeelicious!!!) or a tiiiiiny bit of smoke flavouring. It's just not the same without a hint of smoke.
Chili powder (Ancho or something really smokey!)
Lime wedges, Chopped green onions and/or fresh jalapeno peppers (for garnish)
Directions
Use corn cut from fresh cobs for best results but frozen corn will do.
Add 2 Tbsp olive oil or corn oil to a large pot, heat to medium and add corn. Saute for a few minutes, stirring gently but often, until beginning to caramelize - you will see little browning spots and it will smell AWESOME!
Toss in the onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika (or smoked salt) and a pinch of pepper. Continue to saute till onions begin to turn translucent.
Add chicken broth or vegetable broth, chopped stewed tomatoes (with juice), black beans plus 3 cups of water. If you have them, add in the ears you cut the corn from (3-6). Simmer gently for 30 minutes.
Remove cobs. Add cornmeal in a steady stream, whisking constantly as it goes in. Toss in diced peppers. Continue to stir as soup thickens - about 15 minutes.
Serve hot with a sprinkle of chili powder, some chopped green onions (or jalapenos, if you are more inclined) and a wedge of lime.
