  Chilled Corn Soup with Adobe recipe

  2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
  1 cup chopped sweet onion
  1/2 tsp garlic, minced
  3 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen
  2 cups chicken broth
  2 Tbs fresh lime juice
  1/2 tsp cumin
  1/2 tsp oregano
  1 tsp adobo sauce (see below)
  salt and freshly ground black pepper
  Garnish: avocado slices, corn

  Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and 
  garlic. Saute until soft. Add corn, chicken broth, 1 tablespoon lime 
  juice, cumin and oregano and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 
  until corn is just tender. Puree soup in a blender or food processor, 
  working in batches if necessary, until soup is nearly smooth. Add 
  remaining lime juice and about 1 cup of water or more to get the 
  consistency you desire. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for at
  least 2 hours or overnight.

  Drizzle with adobo sauce. Garnish with avocado slices and additional
  corn.

  Adobo Sauce: puree 1 small can of chipotle chiles in adobo with 2 
  tablespoons olive oil. Keep in air tight container in the 
  refrigerator for weeks or freeze. Mix in additional olive oil if
  sauce becomes too thick.
