Cooking method

Step 1:

Here's a detailed walk-through of how to make Mexican cream of corn soup with chicken. Start by pouring cold water into a good-size pot and adding the rinsed chicken. Set it over medium heat. As it comes to a boil, skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Add a peeled onion cut in half and some salt. Lower the heat and simmer the chicken until cooked through.
Step 2:

Lift out the cooked breast, let it cool, and cut it into cubes. Strain the broth through a fine sieve and set it aside for now.
Step 3:

For the next step I recommend wearing gloves. Rinse the chili pepper under running water, remove the seeds, and chop it fine. Peel and finely chop the second onion. Sauté the onion and chili in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of hot, neutral-flavored oil.
Step 4:

Add the canned corn along with its liquid to the skillet, stir, and simmer everything together over medium heat for 7 minutes.
Step 5:

Divide the mixture into three equal parts. Blend two-thirds of it to a smooth purée.
Step 6:

Pour the corn purée into the pot you cooked the broth in and add the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring so nothing scorches.
Step 7:

Stir in the strained chicken broth, the reserved onion-corn mixture, and the diced chicken, then add one tablespoon of vegetable oil. Bring the soup to a boil, taste, and add salt if needed. You can also stir in seasonings — an all-purpose soup blend, for instance — to round out the aroma and flavor. Finish with chopped dill or other fresh herbs.

A truly wonderful recipe for any meal. It brings together the classic flavors of Mexican cooking, and the soup comes together so easily that even a first-time cook can pull it off.
