SUMMARY:Make Creamy Mexican Corn Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Alexa to make a Creamy Mexican Corn Soup  (based on this recipe from One Hot Oven.) 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\nCreamy Mexican Corn Soup\n\n\n\nIngredients\n\n6 tablespoons olive oil\n3 15.5 oz. cans pinto beans drained\n3 15.5 oz. cans kidney beans drained\n6 cups frozen corn\n11/2 cup green pepper seeded and diced\n11/2 cup red pepper seeded and diced\n11/2 cup dried pasilla chile seeded and chopped\, or other chile\n3 jalapenos seeded and diced\n3 cloves garlic chopped\n7 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock\n3 cups cream of choice: heavy cream (original recipe)\, half n half (a little lighter!) or coconut (better if freezing)\n3 tsp. cumin\n3 tsp. onion powder\n3/4 tsp. ground red pepper\nsalt and pepper to taste\n3/4 lb cheddar cheese grate this to make 3 cup of shredded cheese\n6 tablespoons chopped cilantro\n\nCorn and Bean Soup Toppings (optional)  \n\nsour cream \nshredded cheese \nlime \ndiced onion \n\nInstructions\n\n\nPrep your ingredients first by draining the beans\, chopping the garlic\, and seeding and dicing the peppers.\nPlace a large stockpot on medium heat. 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.
