Recipe - August Corn Chowder

4 cup Defatted chicken broth
2 Corn ears, kernels removed,
cobs reserved and halved
crosswise (see note below)
4 Fresh dill sprigs (including
stems)
PLUS
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh dill
4 Redskinned new potatoes,
unpeeled, cut into 1/4"
dice
2 cup Lowfat plain yogurt
3 Cucumbers, peeled, seeded
and cut into small dice
1 small Red bell pepper, cored,
seeded and cut into 1/4"
dice
Coarsely ground black pepper
to taste

Whenever cold soups call for chicken broth, be sure to defat it
completely for best results. Also, black pepper is the only spice in
this chowder, so freshly ground is a MUST.

1. Place broth, corn cobs and dill sprigs in a heavy pot. Bring to a
boil, reduce heat, simmer 10 minutes. Discard cobs and dill.

2. Add potatoes to broth and cook for 8 minutes or until tender. Add
corn kernels and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; pour soup
through a strainer, reserving vegetables and broth.

3. Place yogurt and 2/3 of the minced cucumbers in the bowl of a food
processor; pulse on and off just to combine ingredients (so some
texture remains). With motor on, pour in 1 cup of reserved broth
through feed tube and pulse machine on to just combine ingredients.
Remove to a bowl. Save any leftover broth for another use.

4. Stir in the reserved vegetables, remaining minced cucumber, bell
pepper and chopped dill. Season with fresh black pepper. Refrigerate
for up to 2 hours. Serve chilled.

NOTE: If you like, cut 3 more ears of corn (with kernels) into 1"
lengths and cook separately for 23 minutes. Then divide corn between
bowls and ladle soup on top.
