Yellow tomatoes and corn kernels shaved from the cob give this soup its golden hue. If you prefer a quicker method, use canned vegetable broth and let your food processor chop the vegetables. Pulse the tomatoes and peppers guardedly so as not to overblend them.

Makes 6 servings

• 2 ears fresh corn, shucked and rinsed

• 4 yellow tomatoes, seeded and cut into small dice

• 1 small red onion, minced

• 1 large yellow bell pepper, stem removed, seeded and finely diced

• 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced

• 1/4 cup Chicken Stock or Vegetable Broth

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• Fresh parsley sprigs for garnish

• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted, for garnish

1. Cut the kernels off the corncob by holding it vertically on a cutting board and cutting downward with a sharp knife, until all the kernels are removed.

2. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, tomato, red onion, yellow bell pepper, cucumber, stock or broth, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

3. Serve cold in chilled soup bowls. Garnish with parsley sprigs and toasted almonds.
