SWEET CORN AND PEANUT SOUP
1 gal. water
8 oz. hominy
2 tbsp. sweet butter
2 ea. white onions, diced
3 ea. garlic cloves, minced
2 cup carrots, peeled and grated
2 oz. fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 gal. corn stock
2 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
5 tbsp. smooth peanut butter
4 ea. jalapeño chiles, stemmed and diced (including seeds)
10 ears sweet corn, shucked, kernels cut off cobs and roasted
5 ea. cilantro sprigs
In a small stockpot over high heat, bring the water and hominy to a boil. Boil for 35 minutes, then drain the hominy and rinse it in cold water.
Melt the butter in a large stockpot over high heat. Add the onions, garlic, and carrots and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the ginger, stock, peanuts, and peanut butter. Bring to a boil and whisk until the peanut butter is evenly incorporated. Decrease the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes.
Uncover the stockpot and puree the soup with a handheld blender until smooth. Add the hominy, jalapeños, and roasted corn. Simmer 5 more minutes. Strip the cilantro leaves from the stems and julienne.
Ladle the soup into shallow bowls. Sprinkle some of the cilantro leaves over each bowl and serve.
Serves 4 to 6.

Seriously, it does make sense when one thinks about it. The click will take you directly to the site
