Mexican Corn Soup with Shrimp and Cilantro Purée

I always felt that corn chowder was about the most unpleasant looking dish ever invented. Then all of a sudden hot restaurants across the country began making smooth corn soups swirled with a variety of contrasting purées. While the soups were certainly more pleasing to the eye, I was still disappointed by the bland flavor. I became determined to invent a corn soup that even I could adore. This recipe is the result. The contrast between the pastel yellow of the soup, the coral of the shrimp, and the vibrant green of the cilantro is spectacular.


Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings.
