 Corn and Cumin Soup

Very simple and tasty.
You will need:
Stock (optional but recommended)
Corn (preferably fresh and sweet)
Potatoes
Onions
Cumin
S+P
Butter
If you have stock it will make your soup taste a lot better. Even a simple stock of mirepoix (onions, carrots, celery), bay leaf, and peppercorns for example, is easy to whip up and strain off. If you have fresh cumin seeds, toast them a little and grind them up. IF not ground cumin will do.
Sweat your onions with your cumin in a little butter. Then add your stock or water and bring it to the boil. Cook off your potatoes and corn (fresh cut off the cob is nice but you can use frozen  ) and when it's done cooking transfer to a blender and puree it. Take that and press it through a china cap or strainer of some kind to get rid of a lot of that flavorless corn fiber shit. This will give your soup a nice consistency. Taste it. Does it need more cumin or salt? A little pepper is nice in the soup, but I don't like it peppery. I also like to finish it with some butter.
The ratio of veg is up to you. If you've made a pureed potato soup you should know how much potatoes you'll want to use to make the soup the desired thickness. You can use a lot of corn. Your main flavors are that and the cumin. I like to sweat a lot of onions at the beginning, especially if I don't have stock. Remember they'll cook down and you're going to be pureeing it later.
