Also from Simply in Season, this is what we're eating this weekend :)

Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
2 1/2 cups corn
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 small tomato chopped
1/2 fresh lime
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
Optional: cooked black beans, lima beans, chunks of chicken or turkey

Directions:
1. Saute onion in olive oil until soft
2. Add corn and broth, cook for 10 minutes. Remove 1 cup of solids with about 1/3 cup broth and place in a blender, blend until smooth. Return puree to the soup pot and heat until nearly boiling.
3. Add pepper and tomato, heat another minute
4. Squeeze lime into pot and top with cilantro immediately before serving. Garnish individual bowls with lime wedges and a dollop of plain sour cream (optional).
