Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 ears corn

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 sweet onion

---such as Vidalia -- chopped

1 leek

---white part only -- chopped

4 scallions

---white part only -- chopped

1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

2 tablespoons minced fresh basil

1 tablespoon minced fresh mint

1 medium russet potato -- peeled & chopped

2 cups vegetable broth

salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and let the water return to

a boil. Cover the pot, turn off the heat, and leave the corn for 8 to 10

minutes. (If you're using an electric stove, take the pot off the burner.)

Transfer the corn to a plate to let it cool. (Or cook the corn in the

microwave.)

 

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat . When it is hot, add

the onion, leek, scallions, ginger, basil, and mint. Reduce the heat to medium

and saute, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft, about 12 minutes.

 

Scrape the corn off the cobs and stir in the kernels along with the potato. Add

the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce

the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potato is soft enough to

puree and the liquid has reduced to just cover the other ingredients, about 30

minutes.

 

Puree the mixture using an immersion blender or a food processor. Return it to

the heat. Warm it through, season with salt & pepper, and serve hot.
