To do this recipe the justice it deserves, use 6 ears of sweet fresh corn! Strip the kernals, simmer 10 minutes in 2 cans low sodium chicken broth. Char the tomato, and a couple nice fresh jalapenos. remove jalapeno skins and seeds, if desired. Puree Jalapenos, tomato, onion and oregano. Remember, FRESH CORN, char the tomato and jalapeno! I make this soup all summer long...very complex flavors if a few essential steps are used!

We made it without cream for less fat but it was still really good and very filling!
