2 tb Reduced-fat chicken broth 1 Sweet red pepper, finely Diced 3 Scallions, minced 1 Shallot, minced 1 tb Unbleached flour 2 c Corn 1 3/4 c Skim milk Dash of nutmeg 1 ts Low-sodium soy sauce Sweet red pepper rings For garnish Snipped fresh parsley
Place the broth in a 4-quart pot over medium heat. Add the peppers,
scallions and shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until the peppers are
crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add a bit of water, if necessary, to
prevent scorching. Stir in the flour and cook until slightly thickened,
1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and set aside. Place
1 cup of the corn in a blender or food processor with 1 cup of the milk.
Process on low until smooth. Add the corn-milk mixture, the remaining corn,
the remaining milk, nutmeg and soy sauce to the peppers in the pot. Set
over medium heat and bring the mixture just to boiling, stirring
frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Garnish with the
red peppers and parsley.
