Rabbit Hill Inn Corn & Rye Whiskey Soup Recipe

corn rye whiskey soupCorn and Rye Whiskey Soup Recipe from Rabbit Hill Inn

Our Chef was prepping for a busy Saturday night. He decided to feature some very fresh sweet corn  for the soup of the evening.  Sure, he could have made a delicious corn chowder.  But no… he began to craft a totally awesome and unique soup – Corn and Rye Whiskey Soup.  Rye Whiskey? In soup?   You bet.

But he didn’t stop there.  He then pickled fresh corn kernels and diced some of his Pablano sausage to sprinkle on the top of the soup.   The dining crowd went crazy over it! Chef is encouraging you to try this at home.  Here’s his recipe. (Lucky for us… he wrote it down right after he made the soup.)
