If you are looking for a recipe to make mom feel special, here's one that's simple enough for anyone to make. Serve it with whole wheat bread or just a salad on the side.

Ingredients

2 bags of frozen corn, preferably organic
2 yellow or orange or red bell peppers
1 medium onion
Vegetable broth, 1 32-ounce carton
Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, dash of cumin, spoonful of brown sugar

Directions

Chop the onion and peppers and saute in olive oil. Stir in salt, pepper, pepper flakes, a little cumin and a spoonful of brown sugar. Add the corn and vegetable broth and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Let it cool off a little (or a lot, if you have more time).

In small batches, blend the mixture until it is has a smooth and creamy texture. Blend just a small amount at a time because hot liquids can blow the lid off a blender.

It's done! You can serve it with any combination of chopped green herbs -- parsley, basil, cilantro, green onion. Or toss some toasted pine nuts in the middle of the bowl.
