I’m generally a strictly hot-soup-belongs-in-the-wintertime sort of person (although chilled soups, such as peach and strawberry and cucumber are planted firmly in my mind’s summer, but one could say that’s more dessert than meal) (will I ever create parentheticals shorter … Read More
Tuesday was National Cheesecake Day! And I’m not one to let a holiday go un-celebrated, that’s just not right. So I took one for the team and made a dessert. And it was good. Very good.  Blueberry Cheesecake … Read More
Growing up, any extended family gathering revolved around food. A long and late breakfast was followed by a multi-coursed lunch, and shortly after was a big dinner, either cooked at home or eaten out. Indians take food seriously, and I … Read More
I kind of have a thing for perfectly ripe tomatoes. As we’ve tried to eat more seasonally the last few years, I generally try to refrain from purchasing them during off months. This also means that I purchased no fewer … Read More
My family is from South India, and North and South Indian foods are surprisingly different. So much so that those from different sides of the country have a bit of a chip on their respective shoulders about which cuisine is … Read More
I often commented while I was nursing Nat that I felt it was easier dressing a pregnant belly than it was to dress while breastfeeding. You need easy access but still good coverage, some layers but not too many, nothing … Read More
I think people sometimes think I’m kidding when I tell them it’s one of Dan’s life goals to have a deep freezer, mostly for the purpose of ice cream storage. They would be wrong.Somehow, it just seems right and good … Read More
Today’s thoughts are c/o the originality gallery and mostly are that summer weekends are the best. Blueberry picking, a little friend’s baptism, practicing a violin duet for church, going to church, watching Sister Act, grilled pizza, finishing a fantastic book, … Read More
Remember how this weeknight vegetarian series was, in large part, motivation for me to plan meals ahead of time? Well, I am nothing if not very on top of all the things, and thus waited until 45 minutes before guests … Read More
Oh, hello, Interworld! Nice to see you again after a gloriously unplugged week (glorious except for the 8 million emails to which I returned. that was not glorious.). And because everyone loves pictures of vacations you have not taken, behold … Read More
A mouthful, yes? But a delicious one, I assure you. Somehow the idea of a yogurt-basil dressing had cemented itself in my brain, but when I tried it, the dish just didn’t…pop. It tasted plenty basil-y on its own, but … Read More

Now that we’ve moved past those important-to-no one tangents, SOUP! This soup. It is divine. As in, it is maybe my very favorite soup I’ve ever, EVER had. And Dan’s too, because he loves anything smoky. It is just so flavorful and rich-without-being-heavy and satisfying. And with fresh, sweet summer corn? I could eat it for the rest of the season. And I just may.
3. Remove empty cobs of corn and ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with cheddar cheese, if desired.
