If you like seasonal produce, then you probably have a lot of corn and peaches right now. Great! Because corn and peaches are delicious.

Here’s a summer soup to make from any extra corn and peaches you have. I like to eat it chilled while sitting on the porch. You are welcome to eat it warm if you prefer (substitute stock for water in that case).

It gets a bite from ginger and our Original Pepper Sauce. Coupled with the natural sweetness in the corn and peaches, this flavor combo is a perfect way to start a picnic.
