Sweetcorn, chicken and chipotle soup

by Jeanne Horak on February 8, 2011 24 Comments in Gluten-free, Soup

ChickenSweetcornSoup © J Horak-Druiff 2011

 

There are some words in the English language that arrive briskly and on time; sensibly dressed; do their job quietly, and move on.  Words like safe, sorry, train, paper, sun, yard, end.  But then you get the other words.  You know, words that flit into your speech like exotic tropical dragonflies, in sequinned ballgowns, 6-inch red patent leather heels and feather boas, leaving in their wake a perfume so compelling that you can’t get it out of your head for days.  Words that have such a sensual and foreign feel in your mouth that you tuck them away quietly in your cheek and bring them out furtively in private moments, to repeat to yourself over and over again, just because you like the slightly illicit way they feel on your tongue.

While I was doing some reading ahead of writing this post, I entered a single ingredient into Google to look for synonyms.  What came back were the following words.  Go on – say them out loud to yourself.  You know you want to.

Psammous

Pulverulent

Sabulous

Farninaceous

Flocculent

Furfuraceous

Humdingers in sequins, one and all, I’m sure you will agree (although especially the final one!). Anybody want to venture a guess as to the word I entered into Google to come up with this selection of eclectic tongue-pleasers?

The word was “mealie”.  Still confused, my non-South African readers?  It’s the South African word for sweetcorn or maize, a staple in most South Africans’ (and indeed sub-Saharan Africans’) diet, in one form or another.  Whereas most European languages went with some permutation of mais as their term for maize, it seems that Dutch (and by extension Afrikaans) went with a corruption of the Portuguese milho – hence mealie. It has been one of my favourite foods since childhood.

Upon arrival in the UK, I was most disappointed to find that the South African store cupboard essential creamed sweetcorn is not something that regularly appears on British supermarket shelves – the only place I have seen it is the speciality “international foods” aisle, or in Chinese supermarkets.  It is a food that reminds me of childhood and comfort and is one of the few things that I will happily eat out of the can with a spoon if left unattended and to my own devices. Although no tins of creamed sweetcorn were harmed in the making of this soup, the sweetly creamy flavour does a pretty good impression of my childhood favourite.  The chicken adds a bit of protein to make it a proper one-pot meal; and the smoky depth of flavour that the chipotle adds warms the cockles of the heart.

And when you’re done flirting with those exotic words, I guarantee that this soup will feel just as good wrapping itself around your tongue.

SweetcornSoup2

SWEETCORN, CHICKEN AND CHIPOTLE SOUP (serves 2)

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
50g butter
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
100g raw potato, cut into small cubes
1 boneless skinless chicken breast
about 2 cups sweetcorn kernels (I used the kernels from 2 cobs)
600ml hot vegetable stock
100ml double cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp chipotle chile paste

Method:

Chop the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces.  Season generously with salt and pepper (I used a little chilli salt on mine). Heat half a tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan and fry the chicken bits until just cooked through.  Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

In the same pan, melt the butter together with the rest of the olive oil over a medium heat. Once the butter has melted completely add the garlic, onion and potato and sauté for five minutes, until softened. Add the sweetcorn, reserving a handful of kernels to add at the end for texture, and continue to cook for two more minutes.

Add the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for five to ten minutes, until the potato has cooked through.  Stir in the cream and chipotle paste and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Using a wand blender, or a food processor, process the soup until smooth.  Then add the chicken pieces and reserved whole kernels to the soup and return to the heat until heated through. Serve hot, with more chipotle paste if desired.

    I think I’d prefer to be flocculent that furfuraceous! Great post Jeanne. I love how sensual words lead into sensual soups!
    Our home-grown mealies are just about finished but they were incomparable to the sad things bought in shops, even here in SA – sweet and tender and full of sunshine. I’ve yet to try creamed mealies… still not totally acclimatised to SA in a culinary sense!

    I love trying to become a thesaurus. I keep a list of words that mean delicious next to my computer at all times. I didn’t realize mealie meant maize. I spelled it incorrectly, and thought it was “mealy” the taste of apples when they get old.
    However, that doesn’t’ seem to be anything like your: ambrosial, appetizing, enticing, scrumptious, tempting, palatable, gratifying, distinctive…… post 🙂

    I love the combination of sweetcorn and chipotle, its gorgeous. Where did you find the chipotle paste? I’m curious because my best friend lives over there and can never find it, so I end up lugging a carry-on full of canned chipotle to the UK.

This soup – it made me smile as my mum always made a variation of this when I was ill and now as I am feeling uner the weather it seems you my sister have taken charge to make me feel better at least virtually – dragonflies, feather boas and all. Just the butterflies missing ;o)

    Love the sound of this! Adore creamed sweetcorn, one of my favourite things in the world are my granny’s farm-fresh sweetcorn fritters. As I’m in SA could I substitute your whole corn for creamed sweetcorn do you think? And do you know of an SA alternative to Chipotle Paste? Yum!

    Oh I love words! I sit with my Thesaurus and look for such glam and shimmer and shine and then try and use them… Your list is fab and now I want to play the game!
    I always loved canned corn and we ate it often growing up, even creamed corn. But it always makes me think back with horror of my mom eating cold creamed corn right out of the can. She loved it! I was rightly horrified! Now, your soup is another story….

    I must admit to feeling pretty flocculent this evening, as my boss had been terribly sabulous to me all day, regarding my apparently psammous attempt to recreate a pulverulent dish of farninaceous vegetables for our company lunch, but you’ve cheered me up no end with that ridiculous word – Furfuraceous! Hilarious!

Are you a cook... or a baker? 
I fall firmly into the "cook" category. Baking is too precise, too fiddly - and best left to those with an affinity for it, I always say! But every now and then, only a cake will do. Say, for example... when you celebrate your blog's SIXTEENTH birthday!! 🎉🍾 Yes, last month Cooksister.com turned sweet sixteen, and to celebrate I baked this sticky spiced plum upside down cake. It's a very forgiving recipe and it's worth every single calorie 😁.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappoint
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Anybody else got Lockdown Itchy Feet Syndrome...?? If it isn't an official disorder,  it certainly should be!

I have always been a dreamer, a planner, an explorer. Few things excite me more than stepping onto the soil of a country I have not visited before. When I am going through tough personal times, my go-to self-help therapy has always been to arrange a trip - to throw off the metaphorical bow lines and sail away to a new adventure. 
But then... Corona 😞  I can honestly say that I am enjoying working from home; enjoying having the time to run every day; enjoying cooking proper meals; enjoying my own company; enjoying the lack of FOMO. But OH MAN, I miss travel. 
This image was taken 2 years ago in St George's, Grenada - my first visit to the Caribbean but  certainly not my last. This photo has me dreaming of the day I can throw off those bow lines and travel again... How are you dealing with the lack of travel during this time?

Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the S
Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the Spring bulbs that were planted last year that have been flowering in parks and public gardens with nobody (or fewer people, anyway...) around to admire them? Spare a thought for the gardeners at Holland's famous Keukenhof who planted SEVEN MILLION bulbs last winter in preparation for the garden's annual 2-month opening... but because of Covid-19 Keukenhof did not open at all in 2020. 
But the good news is that for the first time in its history, Keukenhof was virtually open this year, meaning you can enjoy the best of the Spring flowers virtually, from the comfort of your armchair.  Keukenhof posted an amazing series of videos to their YouTube channel featuring magnificent 360 degree tours of the 2020 flowering bulbs; a run-down of the best photo spots; talks by various Keukenhof gardeners; and even a visit from Spongebob Squarepants!  You can check out their YouTube channel here https://bit.ly/2WWkahW. Or you can visit my blog  https://bit.ly/2zMgrLL  to see more of my Keukenhof images like this one of a river of tulips from when I visited a few years ago.

Have you visited Keukenhof?  What were your favourite Spring flowers? ⚘⚘⚘

When people tell me they don't like Brussels spro
When  people tell me they don't like Brussels sprouts, my inner voice always cries out the same response: oh honey, you're just doing it wrong! Sesame ginger sprouts are nutty, zingy and delicious - the opposite of the overcooked grey stinky sprouts of your youth, and so easy to make! 🔖 Remember to save this post so you can make the recipe later! The recipe is also on my blog - click the live link in my profile. 
For 4 people you need:
500 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and cooked (I roast mine in a hot oven)
1 x 2cm piece of ginger cut into fine matchsticks
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
1 Tbsp canola oil
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Salt & pepper 
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the ginger till fragrant. Add the sprouts, mix well and heat through. Remove from heat, add the sesame oil, season and serve topped with toasted sesame seeds.

Did you know that 6 February is Waitangi Day, the national day of New Zealand? .

I am marking the occasion with this photo was taken just over 3 years ago on the shores of beautiful Lake Pukaki on the South Island, looking across at Mt Aoraki.  I loved my visit and planned the trip completely independently – here are some tips for anybody thinking of visiting the South Island. .
🔖Click “save” to bookmark these tips for later! ➡️ 1) Take more time than you think you need. In a week you will barely scratch the surface of the South Island - I would say 2 weeks is a comfortable amount of time. ➡️ 2) Don’t assume that summer means hot weather! Even in December (the height of summer) temperatures peak at about 21C in Christchurch. Pack layers. ➡️ 3) Do spend time in Queenstown. It is stunning and one of my favourite places I have ever visited – great for hiking in summer, skiing in winter, sailing on the lake, adventure sports and a base for many surrounding natural attractions. ➡️ 4) Take day trips from Queenstown to Milford Sound and the Franz Josef glacier (but be aware that the weather is often not great). ➡️ 5) Take a road trip! The roads are excellent and generally empty – and it means you get to pose in places like the shore of Lake Pukaki 😊 .
Have you visited New Zealand’s South Island?  Would you like to?  Let me know in the comments!

Nicole Kidman's is both hands on hips. Meryl Streep's is only left hand on hip. Victoria Beckham's is right hip out, left foot forward (and no smile!). Mine started as a joke many years ago - the earliest evidence I have is from 2005 😎 Do YOU have a signature pose? Tell me in the comments or DM me a pic!

This particular pose was struck on the @chateaulhospitalet estate in the Languedoc, looking out over @gerardbertrandwines vineyards all the way to the Mediterranean. You can read all about my stay there now on the blog - click on the live link in my profile

Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you
Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you may be surprised by the number of French words you already know: rendezvous, entrepreneur, souvenir and ricochet need no introduction. All have been adopted into English wholesale, with their original French meaning and spelling. Perhaps they should apply for settled status post-Brexit... But sometimes a word’s literal translation in French bears no resemblance to what the word has come to mean, such as canape. Although we know the word as meaning a small piece of pastry or bread with a savoury topping served at drinks receptions, the literal translation is a decorative antique sofa. When a clever chef first came up with the idea, the topping was thought to sit on the bread or pastry like a person reclining on a sofa, and the snacks came to be known half-jokingly as canapes. Fact! 
I enjoyed these very elegant canapes (LOVED the lacy little potato lattices!) with Code Rouge sparkling wine before a jazz dinner at Gerard Bertrand’s flagship wine estate Chateau L’Hospitalet in the Languedoc.  The dinner was as  spectacular as the canapes and you can read all about it on my blog now – click the live link in my profile above.

The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Ol
The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Old Spitalfields Market where this photo was taken is very much open and is one of my favourite London markets. Here are my top tips for visiting Old Spitalfields:

1.  The closest station is Liverpool Street which is only a 5 minute walk from the market.
2. It's open daily, with over a hundred stalls, but on Wednesday the focus is on fashion & on Thursday the focus is on antiques & vintage.
3. The busiest day is Sunday - get there early to beat the crowds!
4. Make sure you sample some of the excellent street food on offer - I love the 8-hour pulled pork bagels from Dirty Bagel, topped with cheese melted by blowtorch in front of your eyes; or the traditional raclette at Abondance.
5. Don't forget to check out the amazing Shoreditch street art in the area around the market, either on a tour or self-guided walk.
6. The Truman Brewery just east of Spitalfields hosts a massive collection of vintage clothes stalls, and more street food - don't miss it!

"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Yo
"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so... get on your way!" (Dr Seuss)

How are you starting the new decade? Staring at the mountains ahead, worrying about how hard they will be to climb and whether your shoes will be comfortable and whether it is going to rain along the way? Or striding confidently towards the mountains ahead, looking forward to the fresh air filling your lungs and the sense of purpose as your legs carry you ever higher, and relishing the prospect of an amazing view from the top?

There is no finer metaphor for life than a walk in the mountains and I have already made my choice as to how I plan to tackle the mountains of 2020. What's your choice? 
Wishing you all a very happy new year and amazing views from the top of every personal and professional mountain that you climb!

This particular mountain is in the Austrian Alps where I hiked last summer. Thanks to @thepassionatecook for the 📸!
