Zubereitung von Ala Mexicana Corn Soup
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large kettle over medium-low heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, and 1 jalapeño pepper, minced (remove seeds for less heat), and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add 1 medium carrot, chopped, and 2 celery stalks, chopped. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in 6 cups vegetable or chicken stock, add 4 corn cobs (about 4 ears of corn), and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Remove corn cobs from the soup and reserve approximately 1 cup of corn kernels. Add the remaining corn kernels to the soup and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the kernels are very tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Blend each batch on high speed for at least 1 minute, until completely smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
- In a small saucepan, boil the reserved 1 cup of corn kernels in boiling water for 2-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Stir the cooked corn kernels, 1 roasted red bell pepper (diced), 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), salt, and pepper to taste into the cooled soup. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with fried tortilla strips.
