Ingredients
- 6 ears corn, roasted
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Spanish onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 5 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh chives, finely sliced
Directions
Scrape the kernels from each ear of corn with a sharp knife. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter and oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft. Raise the heat to high, add the wine and cook until reduced. Reduce the heat to medium, add the corn and sweat for 5 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered for 20 minutes. Place the mixture, in batches, into a blender and blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the pan and heat over medium-low heat. Stir in the cream and cook, until hot, about 1 minute. Divide among 8 bowls and garnish with chives.
CHORIZO AND GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLA:
- 8 ounces chorizo
- 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo for 10 to 12 minutes. Peel and slice thin. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place 4 tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Divide the cheeses, chorizo and cilantro among the 4 tortillas and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stack to make two 2 layered tortillas and top with the remaining 2 tortillas. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until golden brown and cheese has melted. Slice into sixths and serve along side soup.

Both the soup and the quesadillas are excellent. The combination of chorizo and goat cheese was surprisingly very well matched. I used half the cream called for the soup and it was still awesome. I thought each dish was excellent on it's own, but conflicted with one another when eaten together. The soup was rich, creamy and sweet -- and the quesadillas spicy and tangy.

his recipes never let me down. this soup greatly benefits from roasting the corn so don't even think about skipping this step (as i did. it's a creamy soup, but not overpoweringly so and is just as good days after it's been cooked.

I made the quesadillas but not the soup. I have substituted Feta for the quesadillas and they are still great. I made a creamy carrot soup, instead, to go along with. For no other reason than that I had the ingredients. This combo has just stayed that way as the kids enjoy it.
