friday food obsessions

New favorite recipe in progress: Four C's soup.

Step 1) Cut the kernels off two VERY fresh ears of corn. Boil the cobs in a large pot with an inch or two of water in the bottom for 90 minutes to make a sweet lovely broth. (Use more water if you want a thin, drinkable soup, less if you want it thick.)

Step 2) Peel and seed 1 medium cucumber. Chop and add cucumber reserved corn kernels.

Step 3) When broth is done, remove from heat and add cucumber, corn kernels, and 1/2 can coconut milk. Puree until smooth with a stick blender or in a food processer/old school blender.

Experimental Step 4) Season with salt and pepper. Add chopped scallions and maybe some cilantro or basil. (I haven't done any of these things to the soup yet, but I'm planning to try it.)

Step 5) Chill overnight for the best flavor. Serve cold. Will make 2 very generous servings or 3 smaller ones.


And no recipe for this yet, but tomorrow I'm going to try to make mini whole wheat calzones with caramelized onions, zucchini, and a very tangy raw milk cheese from my favorite dairy.

P.S. Someday I might figure out what to do with this blog.
