Cajun Corn Coup

Recipe - Soups 037

Cajun Corn Soup

08-03-2002

1 C. onion, chopped

1 C. green pepper, chopped

6 green onions, sliced

1/2 C. cooking oil

1/2 C. all-purpose flour

3 C. tomato paste

2 cans whole kernel corn

1 - 2 cans diced tomatoes

3 C. cubed ham

1 1/2 lbs. fully cooked smoked sausage

cayenne pepper to taste - go lightly and then taste..

2 tsp. Cajun seasoning

Tabasco sauce to taste

Water - as needed, see directions

In a large, heavy saucepan, saute regular onion, green pepper and green onions in oil until tender, about 5 min. Add flour and cook until bubbly. Add tomatoes, and tomato paste, mix well. Stir in the corn, ham, sausage, cayenne pepper, Cajun seasoning, salt and Tabasco sauce. Add 2-3 cans of water. Bring soup to boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer, adding more water as needed, depending on how "soupy" you want the dish to be. Note: I use 2 cans diced tomatoes and I always use the flavored tomatoes, usually the "Cajun" flavored one, but plain would work as well. Soup may be served over rice with cornbread on the side and a big glass of sweet tea! This is served as a main dish with a salad on the side, if desired.
