Once the pot is hot\, add the olive oil.\nAdd the corn to the pot and cook for about a minute. Then stir in the peppers\, garlic\, and dry seasonings. Cook\, stirring often\, for about three minutes\, until the vegetables are tender and the spices are fragrant.\nAdd the beans and the chicken stock to the corn mixture\, stir well\, then bring to a boil. Turn the heat to medium-low and let cook at a simmer for 15 minutes\, until the peppers are tender.\nWhile the soup is simmering\, shred the cheddar cheese using a box grater or a microplane cheese grater; this should yield 3 cups of shredded cheese.\nAdd the cream (half n half or coconut) to the soup pot and stir well. Bring the soup back to a simmer then add the cheese in small batches\, stirring between batches so it melts easily\, then stir in the cilantro. Taste the soup to adjust any season and let simmer for 5 minutes.\nServe the soup hot. Add any of the optional toppings.\n\nNotes  \nThis soup is adaptable to your tastes.   \nFeel free to substitute different types of beans\, peppers\, and cheeses to suit your tastes or even to what ingredients you have on hand.  \nPasilla chile – You can substitute a fresh Pasilla pepper for the dried chile pepper.  \n Using Freshly Shredded Cheese  \nI highly recommend using freshly shredded cheese which you grate from a block of cheese over pre-shredded cheese\, which many times contains starch that inhibits melting.   \nHow to Store Bean Soup  \nStore any leftover Corn and Bean Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.  \nThis soup freezes well. It’s is best to let the soup thaw overnight and then reheat over a low setting.  \n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nHow to Donate Your KindSoup\nSeal containers with a tight lid and freeze. Label each container with: date prepared\, your first name and last initial\, “Creamy Mexican Corn Soup” and common allergens (such as nuts\, eggs\, wheat\, dairy\, vegan or vegetarian as appropriate) – which we will discuss on the call. When convenient\, drop containers of frozen soup off at one of the following participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or a place that you prefer. \n\nRainbow Community Development Center 12120 Tech Road\, Silver Spring (this takes you to the rear parking lot and loading dock – there is usually a large RAINBOW truck parked here): Drop-off Monday-Friday 9am-2pm.

SUMMARY:Make Lemony White Bean with Greens to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Alexa to make a Lemony White Bean with Greens (based on this recipe from New York Times.) After completing your soup\, freeze and label it for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or anyplace that you prefer\, when convenient. Finally\, report on where you shared your KindSoup and spread the word: Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media with #DoKindWorks and tag us @DoKindWorks. \nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nLemony White Bean Soup with Greens (optional ground Turkey)\n\n\n\nIngredients\n\n1 1/2 – 2 pounds ground turkey (optional\, leave out for vegan version)\n1/4 cup olive oil\n3 large onions\, diced\n3-4 large carrots\, diced\n2-3 bunches sturdy greens\, such as kale\, broccoli rabe\, mustard greens or collard greens\n3 tablespoons tomato paste\n2 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin\, plus more to taste\n1/3 teaspoon red-pepper flakes\, plus more to taste\n9 garlic cloves\, minced\n3 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger\n1 tablespoon kosher salt\, plus more to taste\n3 quarts chicken stock (or vegetable broth)\n6 (15-ounce) cans white beans\, drained and rinsed\n3 cups chopped fresh\, soft herbs\, such as parsley\, mint\, dill\, basil\, tarragon\, chives or a combination\nFresh lemon juice\, to taste\n\nInstructions\n\n\nHeat a large pot over medium-high for a minute or so to warm it up. Add the oil and heat until it thins out\, about 30 seconds. Add onions and carrots\, and sauté until very soft and brown at the edges\, 7 to 10 minutes.\nMeanwhile\, rinse the greens and pull the leaves off the stems. Tear or chop into bite-size pieces and set aside.\nWhen the onions are golden\, add tomato paste\, cumin and red-pepper flakes to the pot\, and sauté until paste darkens\, about 1 minute. Add garlic\, ginger and salt and sauté.\n(Use of a turkey is optional) Add turkey\, breaking up the meat with your spoon\, until turkey is browned in spots\, 4 to 7 minutes. \nAdd stock and beans\, and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until the soup is thick and flavorful\, adding more salt if needed\, 15 to 25 minutes. If you like a thicker broth\, you can smash some of the beans with the back of the spoon to release their starch. Or leave the beans whole for a brothier soup.\nAdd the greens to the pot and simmer until they are very soft. This will take 5 to 10 minutes for most greens\, but tough collard greens might take 15 minutes. (Add a little water if the broth gets too reduced.)\nStir herbs and lemon juice into the pot\, taste and add more salt\, cumin and lemon until the broth is lively and bright-tasting.
