         Title: Chilled Corn Soup   
    Categories: Five, Soups, Vegetables   
         Yield: 6 servings   
      
         3    Ears of corn; shucked   
         1 md Onion; chopped   
         1 cl Garlic; fine chopped   
         2 tb Unsalted butter   
     4 1/2 c  Water   
      
     GARNISH: sour cream; chopped chives   
      
     Simmering the cobs lends depth to a cool essence-of-corn   
     soup, enhanced with a swirl of sour cream and a sprinkling   
     of chives.   
      
     Cut kernels from cobs with a sharp knife, then cut cobs   
     into thirds.   
      
     Cook onion and garlic in butter with 1/4 tsp salt in a   
     large heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring   
     occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.   
     Add corn and cobs, water, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper   
     and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes.   
      
     Discard cobs, then pur+¬e corn mixture in batches in a   
     blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot   
     liquids). Force soup through a fine-mesh sieve into a   
     bowl, discarding solids.   
      
     Chill until cold, at least 1 hour. Thin with water if   
     desired and season with salt.   
      
     COOKSCÇÖ NOTE: Soup can be chilled up to 3 days.
