Popcorn Soup

Seems creamy though technically it is not. * 1 1/2 c popcorn kernels * 1 medium yellow onion, chopped * 2 tbsp ground mild red chili (or hot paprika) * 2 tbsp ground sunflower seeds * 3 tbsp vegetable oil * 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced * 1/2 jalapeno, seeded & minced * 1 tbsp capers, minced * 1/2 tomato, chopped * 2 tbsp red miso paste * 1 tbsp nutritional yeast * salt to taste Cook onion in oil with ground chili and sunflower seeds over high heat with a little water until starting to soften. Add more water and bring to a boil, adding remaining vegetables. Pop popcorn and stir into broth in batches. Cook under high pressure for 30 minutes. Release pressure, puree with hand blender (optionally strain), and stir in miso, yeast, and salt. Serve hot.

Comments:

Is it hot? All the jalapenos, chilli. I'm not courageous enought to test it (yet).

Not very hot. Omit the jalapenos if you like. The ground chili should be of the *mild* kind - lots of flavor, like Hungarian "hot" paprika I guess.

I'll try it and let you know ;)
Can the capers be in salted souse?

Sure. The capers aren't very important anyway. BTW no one says "souse" (I had to look it up) except for "utterly drunk"! "Brine" is more common.

I like the way how my english is improving ;) Thanks for explanation.
I've never used this word. That was the reason why I added the linkto vocabulary. It seems that the links are somehow broken...
