We are in the height of corn season here in the northeast. Unfortunately, despite our recent heat wave, the summer crops are not going to last much longer. So we must make the most of them in the time that we have left. Today I made a delicious Chipotle Corn Soup. This is the first soup I’ve made for the blog and I have to say I’m quite proud of it. It was SO flavorful. The sweetness of the corn is balanced out by a kick of spice from the Tomato Chipotle Butter by Epicurean Butter.
When I was a teenager I worker on a farm picking produce. It’s extremely hard work. It’s early hours, rain or shine, in the heat, with the bugs, with the dirt and in my case with the horrible allergies. I admire farmers because they go through all of this and still LOVE their jobs, Which is one of the many reasons that I try to buy locally when available.

This looks absolutely fabulous! Corn is the perfect ingredient for crating a divine soup. 🙂
This looks wonderful…especially now that our weather is starting to cool off here in the Bay Area. I love that you added paprika, that spice is so underused in my opinion 🙂
