Chilled Coconut Corn Soup

by
Ingredients: Cilantro / Corn / Lime / Potatoes

If you’re looking for a hearty vegan option for your summer corn bounty, this soup has the semblance of a sweet potato or butternut squash chowder, as the corn provides a similar sweetness to the potatoes. Avocado and coconut milk provide some quality fats and nutrition, while ginger adds a nice touch. I skipped the cilantro garnish as it wasn’t in season, but I bet it’s good if you have better luck growing cilantro than me! The toasted coconut garnish is great on it’s own!

Ratatouille

Ingredients: Basil / Eggplant / Garlic / Onion / Peppers / Summer Squash / Tomatoes

The quintessential August recipe! This recipe from Alice Waters is Jess’ favorite at the moment. Taking the time to salt the eggplant removes any potential bitterness that may effect the overall flavor of the dish. (If you’re looking for fancy, there are many beautiful layered ratatouille versions out there as well.) This version uses a basil boquet that is removed after cooking, so you can get away with using basil that’s starting to bolt, making it a great end-of-season recipe!

Ingredients: Cilantro / Lime / Onion / Peppers / Tomatillos / Tomatoes

Got tomatillos and cherries? This one’s for you! The peppers can range from mild to the hot habanero I used here, and all the ingredients are pretty flexible based on what you have and how you like it. Have fun making it your own!
