My son loves the way the kitchen smells when this soup is cooking. He comes into the kitchen and fans the aroma into his face and I know he is happy. —Elaine Sweet of Dallas, Texas

Ingredients:
3 corn tortillas (6 inches), cut into 1-inch strips
4 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed
1/2 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon each pepper and paprika
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 bacon strip, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup fat-free milk
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice

PICO DE GALLO:
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
1 small serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Place tortilla strips on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until crisp.
Rub corn with canola oil; sprinkle with seasonings. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.

Grill corn, covered, over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until tender, turning frequently. Cool slightly; cut corn from cobs and set aside.

In a large saucepan, saute onion and bacon for 5 minutes; add garlic, cook 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add corn, milk, chilies, cumin and oregano; heat through. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and lime juice.

Combine pico de gallo ingredients. Serve with soup and tortilla strips.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
