Course : Soups
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons butter
1 Large onion -- finely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper -- seeded and finely chopped
1 medium green bell pepper -- seeded and finely chopped
2 Packages frozen corn kernels -- (1 pound each)
2 Cups chicken stock
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 cup diced -- cooked ham
1 teaspoon salt and pepper -- to taste
 

Preparation:

Melt the butter over low heat in a large soup pot. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the red and green peppers and saute for 10 minutes more. Put the frozen corn in a food processor and chop into small bits. (This will give the soup a creamier texture.) Add the corn to the soup pot along with the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and ham, and heat for 10 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
