RICKSTER2 Recipe ⋮ Summer in a Bowl

A favorite with my family and friends. Basically, four ingredients - this soup just tastes like summer.

Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn
• 4 cups water, or more as needed
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 6 vine-ripened tomatoes, diced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ cup torn fresh basil
• 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Cut kernels from corn cobs and set aside. Cut cobs in half and place in a pot with water and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until corn broth flavors blend, about 90 minutes. Strain broth and pour back into pot; discard corn cobs.
2. Stir tomatoes, corn kernels, and butter into corn broth; bring to a boil and cook until reduced and flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Stir basil into soup, ladle into bowls, and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
