2 cloves garlic, peeled

2medium onions (4 ounces [110g] each), peeled, cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) pieces

3red bell peppers (approximately 1-1/2 pounds [680g] total), seeded, trimmed and cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) pieces

3 ears fresh corn

1 tablespoon (15ml) extra virgin olive oil

1-1/2 teaspoons (7ml) thyme

4 tablespoons (60ml) white rice

4-1/2 cups (1.2L) low salt, nonfat chicken or vegetable stock

1teaspoon (5ml) kosher or sea salt 1/2 teaspoon (2ml) freshly ground pepper

112-ounce (340g) (jar roasted red peppers

3-5 drops hot sauce, to taste

Insert the metal blade. With the machine running, drop the garlic cloves down the small feed tube and process until finely chopped, about 5 seconds. Scrape the work bowl. Add the onions; pulse to chop, 15 times. Remove and reserve. Use the pulse to chop the red bell pepper, 10 to 15 times. Remove and reserve.

Use a thin-bladed knife (a boning knife works well) to remove the corn from the cobs. Reserve the cobs.

Heat the oil in a 6-quart (6L) stockpot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, garlic, and red bell peppers. Allow the vegetables to cook for 2 to 3 minutes – do not brown. Stir in the corn, cobs, thyme, and rice; cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add the chicken stock and roasted peppers; raise the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover loosely and simmer for

20 minutes.

Remove the corncobs and discard. Strain the solids from the cooking liquid. Reserve the cooking liquid. Insert the metal blade. Process the solids for 4 minutes to purée, stopping the machine two or three times to scrape the work bowl. Add the purée into the reserved cooking liquid and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper; stir well to combine. Season with hot sauce and chill before serving.

Note: This soup may also be served hot.
