3 Ears of corn; shucked
1 md Onion; chopped
1 cl Garlic; fine chopped
2 tb Unsalted butter
4 1/2 c Water
GARNISH: sour cream; chopped chives
Simmering the cobs lends depth to a cool essence-of-corn
soup, enhanced with a swirl of sour cream and a sprinkling
of chives.
Cut kernels from cobs with a sharp knife, then cut cobs
into thirds.
Cook onion and garlic in butter with 1/4 tsp salt in a
large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring
occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add corn and cobs, water, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper
and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes.
blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot
liquids). Force soup through a fine-mesh sieve into a
bowl, discarding solids.
Chill until cold, at least 1 hour. Thin with water if
desired and season with salt.
