The Glade 4.0

So on another note:

Tamaar, do you have a good recipe for a Roasted Corn soup? We're starting to get in some really good fresh corn at our farmer's market. I've been cutting it off the cob, and pan-roasting it with peppers and onions, and then using that mixture for the basis of burritos, salads, and salsas. But I'd like to expand that into a soup.

I got your soup right here!


10 soups daily, plus sandwiches, salads, and fresh lemonade.


Corn was on the list. Also file, which wasn't.


I don't, but I'll pick Dustin's brain tomorrow. I'd be roasting it on the cob and cutting it after, though.


It's here. Come get it or pay for delivery.

If I had a working grill, I'd roast it on the cob. Since I don't (and it's around 105 outside) I'm settling for cutting it off the cob and roasting it with a little olive oil in a cast iron skillet.

Any tips for split pea soup? I like to make ham occasionally and then make soup out of the leftovers. The way I normally do it is something like this:

1. Simmer leftover ham bone in pot of water for 2-3 hours (I added some of my homemade chicken stock last time)
2. Remove bone, add 1 lb of split peas and cook until they break down.
3. Saute some onions/carrots/celery until well browned and add them to the pot when the peas are done.
4. Puree everything with my immersion blender
5. Shred the remaining ham off the bone and add it to the soup.
6. Serve with a pat of butter on top.

My split pea goes like this:

Saute mirepoix (50% onions, 25% carrots, 25% celery) in bacon grease until the onion looks clear.
Add fresh thyme and black pepper
Put a pound of peas in and stir until you can smell the thyme.
Pour chicken stock into the pot to cover the peas by an inch or so
Put the ham bone in
Cover and cook until the peas are soft
Shred ham off the bone


I prefer not to puree, I like the bright bits of carrot peeking through. All the flavour of the ham bone will come out in the time it takes to cook the peas, there's no need to simmer for hours before.

This! Except I have always used water...will try it with chicken stock next time.

Sounds good, thanks for the recipe. I need to plant some thyme in my herb garden...

My wife is a soup fanatic when she's pregnant. I ate her leftover Won Ton soup last time she was pregnant.. major error on my part.
