      Title: Chilled Corn Soup
 Categories: Five, Soups, Vegetables
      Yield: 6 servings

      3    Ears of corn; shucked
      1 md Onion; chopped
      1 cl Garlic; fine chopped
      2 tb Unsalted butter
  4 1/2 c  Water

  GARNISH: sour cream; chopped chives

  Simmering the cobs lends depth to a cool essence-of-corn
  soup, enhanced with a swirl of sour cream and a sprinkling
  of chives.

  Cut kernels from cobs with a sharp knife, then cut cobs
  into thirds.

  Cook onion and garlic in butter with 1/4 tsp salt in a
  large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring
  occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  Add corn and cobs, water, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper
  and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes.

  Discard cobs, then pur+¬e corn mixture in batches in a
  blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot
  liquids). Force soup through a fine-mesh sieve into a
  bowl, discarding solids.

  Chill until cold, at least 1 hour. Thin with water if
  desired and season with salt.

  COOKSCÇÖ NOTE: Soup can be chilled up to 3 days.
