Celery and Corn Soup


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 438

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small (4-ounce) potato, peeled and finely diced (1/4 inch)
1 cup finely diced celery (1/4 inch)
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 1 ear), or thawed, if frozen
1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely diced (1/4 inch)
2 cups canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil and butter over medium heat and cook the onion until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the celery and 1/2 cup of the corn. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and cook until the vegetables are very tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. When done, transfer the vegetables to a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. Return the puréed mixture to the pan.

2. While the vegetables are cooking, put the remaining 1/2 cup celery, 1/2 cup corn, red bell pepper, and 1/2 cup water into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add these as they are to the puréed soup mixture in the pan. Stir in the cream, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Serve hot.
