Corn and Chanterelle Soup
- 2 plump ears fresh corn
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Walla Walla onion, minced
- 2 fat cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound chanterelles, wiped clean and quartered
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh summer savory
- 3 cups Parmesan Brodo (page 47)
- Shuck the corn and remove all the silk.
- Stand 1 ear on end in a bowl to catch the kernels and the juice.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the kernels off the cob, then, using the dull edge of the knife, scrape down the sides of the cob, milking it into the bowl.
- Repeat with the second ear of corn.
- You should end up with about 2 cups of corn and juice.
- Heat the olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic and saute 4 to 5 minutes, until soft but not colored.
- Add the chanterelles and cook until soft, for 4 to 5 minutes longer, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Increase the heat to high.
- Add the savory, corn and juice, and Parmesan broth.
- Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to low, and simmer the soup for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the corn is tender and the flavors have melded.
- Taste for seasoning and serve.
