Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Reduced-fat chicken broth
1 Sweet red pepper, finely
Diced
3 Scallions, minced
1 Shallot, minced
1 tb Unbleached flour
2 c Corn
1 3/4 c Skim milk
Dash of nutmeg
1 t Low-sodium soy sauce
Sweet red pepper rings
For garnish
Snipped fresh parsley

Place the broth in a 4-quart pot over medium heat.
Add the peppers, scallions and shallots. Cook,
stirring frequently, until the peppers are
crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add a bit of water, if
necessary, to prevent scorching. Stir in the flour
and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes,
stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and set
aside. Place 1 cup of the corn in a blender or food
processor with 1 cup of the milk. Process on low
until smooth. Add the corn-milk mixture, the
remaining corn, the remaining milk, nutmeg and soy
sauce to the peppers in the pot. Set over medium heat
and bring the mixture just to boiling, stirring
frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5
minutes. Garnish with the red peppers and parsley.
