INSTRUCTIONS
COOKING MONDAY TO FRIDAY SHOW # MF6630
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute
for about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes, broth, corn and chilies.
Bring the liquid to a simmer then cover the pan and cook gently over low
heat for 15 minutes. Meanwhile rinse and mince the cilantro.
While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the cornmeal into the simmering
soup, Simmer gently uncovered until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir the
bottom on occasion to make sure the cornmeal isn't sticking.
Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. Right before serving stir in
the lime juice. Portion out and garnish if you wish with cheddar cheese,
cilantro and chopped green bell pepper.
Yield: 4 servings
