Ingredients
- 3 cup Chicken stock
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 med Potato peeled, diced
- 1 med Yellow squash diced fine
- 1 med Zucchini or other green squash diced fine
- 1/2 x Red onion diced fine
- 2 tbl Olive oil
- 1 tsp Achiote oil or paprika for coloring
- 2 x ears Fresh sweet corn to make 1 cup kernels
- Freshly-ground white pepper to taste
- 1 cup Crumbled feta cheese
Directions
In a large saucepan, bring the stock and milk to the simmer. Add the potatoes, cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender. Puree in a blender and return the puree to the saucepan. Thin if needed with water or more stock.
In a skillet, saute quickly the two squashes and onion in the olive oil and the achiote oil or paprika. Add to the puree.
Husk the corn and cut the kernels from the cobs, scraping them to capture the milk. Add the corn to the puree and taste for seasoning. Because of the feta cheese, you probably won't want salt.
Bring the soup to the simmer and cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle with the cheese, which each diner can stir into the soup.
