Introduction

Fiery because it's spicy and fast - 10 minutes at dinner tonight. And I love the sweetness of the corn as a counterpoint to the heat.

Ingredients

Serves: 2

½ medium onion (diced small)
1 stick celery
1 clove minced garlic
17 ounces crushed tomatoes
4 ounces green chiles (canned)
1 cup frozen sweetcorn kernels
1 cup water
1 pinch of sugar
minced black pepper
sour cream (to taste)
1 splash of vegetable oil
cilantro

Heat the oil over med-high heat, add the onion and celery. Saute just until browning on the edges, about 2 minutes.

Add the garlic, stir for a moment, then add the chilies, tomatoes, corn, water, sugar, and good grinding of black pepper.

Turn up the heat and let it bubble while you make a quesadilla or something else to accompany the soup. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

After about 5 minutes it should have reduced to a more soupy consistency - add cilantro, taste it, and adjust flavorings. Ever so nice with a lager....
