chilled grilled corn soup

We’re smack dab in the middle of corn* season in much of the country, including where I live in New York. So I thought I’d take advantage of it. Even though I love a good bowl of corn chowder, I really don’t want a steamy serving of it when it’s still so summery hot outside. That’s where this chilled corn soup comes in. It’s rich in flavor from the “naked” grilling of the corn, a hint of “heat” from jalapeño, and a generous pinch of earthy cumin. It provides sweet, smoky, and refreshing goodness in every spoonful!

Makes 4 servings: 1 sandwich each Though grilling is a most popular in summertime, I find I cook out more during the fall. But I like to mix things up a bit and not stick to the tried and true. Here’s one of those not-so-tried-and-true results. It’s an egg salad sandwich gone mad … in a very tasty way! Not only did I grill the eggs, I grilled avocado and Poblano and combined them all together for an unexpected sandwich bursting with flavor, texture, and smoky intrigue. The fresh rosemary is the perfect accent for it. You can use an indoor grill or grill pan, if you prefer. Hope you enjoy it soon–whether cooking out or in. Calories Saved: 130
