Fiesta Corn Soup with Charred Corn Salsa
Make on FrescoThis is what you could call a summer soup! (‘Summer soup?’ I hear you cry!!) Yes, it is pretty refreshing, light enough for a warmer day, but filling enough for real meal when you add a whack of crusty bread, or crispy baked cheese tortillas...(now you are talking my language!) I had a lot of feedback about this picture when I posted it on social media, so go ahead, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest or Twitter, so that you don’t miss the bus next time I post something yummy! You can start the drooling early....and then be patient! If one more person writes ‘recipe’ or dare I capitalise it ‘RECIPE’ on one more pic.....heads will roll....really...

Scrape down sides of bowl and saute 5 min/Varoma/speed 2/MC off.
- 3

While the soup is cooking, prepare the salsa, by charring corn cobs over an open flame (gas cooktop or BBQ) turning as needed until well charred and softened. Cut corn from cob horizontally and set aside to cool slightly.

Combine corn with all remaining ingredients in a large non reactive bowl and toss gently.
