GOOD EATS INDIAN SUMMER SOUP
Ingredients:
2-3 boneless chicken breast halves (about 16 oz.)
2 tsp. oil salt & pepper to taste
1 medium onion
1 poblano pepper
2 Tbsp. margarine
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups mushrooms, chopped
8 oz. package frozen corn (or 8 oz. can, drained)
1 quart water (divided use)
16 ounces processed American cheese, cubed
4 Tbsp. cornstarch
Rinse, pat dry and lightly brush chicken breasts with oil. Season
with salt and pepper. Slice onion into rings; do not separate rings.
Rinse and pat dry. Place onion, pepper and chicken over medium coals
or grill over medium heat 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are
soft and chicken is done (juices should run clear). Place pepper
in a small paper sack while still hot from the fire and let it cool
for 20 minutes. After cooling, peel skin and scrape out seeds. Chop
onion, pepper and chicken into bite-size pieces. Place margarine
in a large, heavy pot over low heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and
cook five minutes or until softened. Add chopped chicken, onions,
poblano pepper, corn and 2 cups of water. Mix and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add cubed cheese and simmer until melted. Do not allow to boil.
In a separate bowl, dissolve cornstarch with 1 cup water. Stir dissolved
cornstarch into remaining cup of water. Add to soup, stirring constantly
and cook over low heat until thickened. Makes 8 servings.
