No-Cream Creamy Corn Soup with Chipotle-Lime Topping

I've been waiting to make this recipe for awhile, and finally corn is in season again so I jumped at the chance! Like most white women, I love a good farmer's market, and I was happy to buy the corn for this soup from the Santa Monica Farmer's Market, as the recipe comes from the cookbook of the same name.

It was messy. I tried using the grater and was discouraged, so I cut the kernels off of two ears. Then I went back to the grater, and it really made a huge difference.

The result was awesome though, and other than grating the corn, the recipe is super easy. I would be careful with the onion choice though, mine might have been a bit too big. I blended the soup and the topping and it was an awesome combo. I used canned chipotle's, and the topping was fairly spicy, so keep that in mind. Overall a great soup I hope to make again!
