Spicy, Corn and Avocado Soup

I am a total soup person. I want soup ALL of the time, regardless of the weather. I thought this was REALLY good. It was simple to make and could easily pass off as something that took you a lot of time and labor to prepare. My husband loved it, my 6 year old daughter said is was heaven in a bowl, lol! I used frozen corn as I didn't want to waste what I had on hand but next time I will use fresh since this is what I would prefer. I omitted the bacon and instead sauteed the garlic and onion with some southwest chicken chunks from Tyson. Otherwise made exactly as written with parsley, queso fresco and avocado chunks.

Spicy, Corn and Avocado Soup

This soup is where it's at! Easy to make and delicious. I wasn't sure how well the bacon would go over, but I was pleasantly surprised. The consistency is somewhere around a thicker, chicken broth, but not quite a chowder. Great appearance, and absolutely packed with flavor. We went the cilantro route which I highly recommend and omitted the queso fresco and tortilla chips and it was still awesome.

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil

1 yellow onion, roughly chopped

Kernels from 2 ears of corn

4 cups Organic Free Range Pacific Chicken Broth

1 large avocado, peeled and pitted

1 fresh jalapeno, roughly chopped

Kosher salt

Optional garnish: avocado, corn kernels, chives and olive oil

Instructions

• In a medium-large pot over medium-low heat add the olive oil and the yellow onion. Cook while stirring often for 7 minutes, and if you need too lower the heat to keep the onions from browning, do so.
• The onions should be soft and translucent when you add the corn kernels. Stir them into the onions and then add the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove the soup from the stove and transfer it to the jar of a blender. Add the jalapeno and the avocado and puree on high until the soup is smooth and creamy. Gently reheat in the same pot and season to taste with kosher salt.
• Ladle into bowls and garnished with slices of avocado and some raw corn kernels and chives plus a drizzle of olive oil.
