Cool Corn Soup Topped with Roasted Corn Salad

August 18, 2010 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 2 Comments

Mary Anne here. Corn – the sweet cream of summer’s crop – has been a steady muse this August.

February 23, 2009 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 2 Comments

Mary Anne here. A hybrid soup and stew (a stoup?), this fragrant, flavorful dish is a bowl-full of fall. It’s also a a seasonal update to our Corn and Crab Chowder, if you’re ever looking for a summer rendition. I’ll get right down to brass tacks so you can get started on what’s become a[…]
