Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups corn kernels, fresh about 4 cobs
- 10 ounces cherry tomatoes about 2 cups
- 4 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 onion, medium any color, diced
- 8 ounce jar roasted red bell peppers drained
- 32 ounces chicken broth 4 cups
- ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- kosher salt
- fresh cracked black pepper
- optional: chopped herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Place corn, tomatoes, and garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Gently toss with hands and then arrange in an even, flat layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until tomatoes are crinkled and burst.
- While vegetables are roasting, heat a stock pot to medium high heat on stove top. Add remaining one teaspoon olive oil and diced onion. Sauté about 5 minutes, or until tender. Add roasted bell peppers, chicken broth, smoked paprika and chipotle chili powder. Add a light sprinkling of kosher salt and black pepper (I add about ½ teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper at this point and then season to taste at the very end.)
- When corn and tomatoes are done roasting, add them to the pot*, making sure to scrape off all of the bits on the pan. (*If desired, reserve a couple spoonfuls of roasted corn for garnish.) Bring soup to a low simmer and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender, or transfer soup to stand blender and puree until smooth. Taste, and add additional salt and pepper (and chipotle chili powder if you want a little more heat) to taste.
- Divide into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, a few corn kernels, and some chopped herbs if desired.
