This is a recipe from Simply in Season and features fresh veggies that are available locally in the summer. You can add one or a combination of cooked black beans, lima beans and chopped, cooked chicken. If you have grilled corn available it'll add a lovely smoky flavour.

1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 cups corn
3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped

1 1/2 fresh limes
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
plain yogurt (optional) or sour cream (optional)
Tabasco sauce, to taste

Directions

1
Add olive oil to soup pot and saute chopped onion until soft.
2
Add corn and broth and cook for 10 minutes.
3

Too bland for me, but provided a good base. I added a handful of dried garlic chips, Cholula hot sauce, a can of drained black beans, about 2 Tbs of chili powder. It's now an excellent, hearty soup with Southwestern flair. Next time, I'll add green chilis instead of so much Cholula. Lime juice is terrific and, as someone else suggested, avacado with sprigs of cilantro. Yum.

Made as written. It was bland (fam does not like Tabasco), even with fresh limes. So I added S&P and chili powder, but it was still bland. Easy to make, but short on flavor. Maybe some chopped green onion on top, or some green chiles, for the leftovers.

Great soup! I sauteed the onions and red pepper (saved some red pepper for garnish). Used fresh corn. The lime is really adds a lot to this recipe. I added sliced avocado when I served this. Made for ZWT 5.
