Aug 21, 2014 This Coconut Corn Soup (which lives in the glossy folds of the September, 2014 issue) is everything that late-summer cooking should be – peak produce, vibrant flavours, and minimal time spent in the kitchen. Made silky smooth in the Vitamix, it boasts a sweetness and flavour that only freshly-picked corn can imbue, against a backdrop of nutty coconut milk (fresh, also made in the blender). It’s finished with a jalapeño-corn salsa, lending heat, brightness, and the juicy pop of fresh corn kernels. The Vitamix Professional Series 750 really does most of the work here, with it’s hot-soup superpowers. (Souperpowers?) And once again, there’s one up for grabs! I took a glimpse and there weren’t many entries for the August draw (which is now closed). With over 1.5 million copies of Bon Appétit in circulation, I suspect everyone thinks that everyone else entered and that they don’t have a chance. Outsmart the masses, people, and win yourself the Rolls Royce of blenders! (Although I’d argue that Rolls Royce is the Vitamix of cars…) Your photograph will not be judged on how beautiful it is, nor will it’s subject be judged by how inventive or delicious it was. It’s simply a random draw from all eligible entries. So get in there! I can’t wait to see your submissions!
