It works well raw, boiled, barbecued, roasted, whole, creamed and more. Whether on a salad, the base of a soup, in your bak- ing with cornmeal or corn flour, or one of the multi- tude of applications in modern manufacturing, corn also crosses many cultural lines, as we find it in cuisines around the world. In this recipe, I have roasted the corn to bring out the natural sugars, us- ing it asa base for my soup. It is easy, hearty and deli- cious. Hope you enjoy it!
