Sopa De Elote
Spanish Transciption
Se muele en crudo un poco de jitomate con cebolla y un diente de ajo; se pone a freir, se le agrege caldo colado que sea suficiente y unos elotes crudos desgranados y otros en rueditas (pueden ponerse los elotes ya cocidos pero pierden ya mucho su sabor) cuando ya se ven cocidos los elotes se le pone una raja de chile gordo que se habrán pasado por la lumbre, se les quita el cuerito, se desvenan y se lavan con agua de sal. Cuando ya va a servirse se le ponen unos pedacitos de queso y una ramita de epasote. El queso debe ser lo ultimo para que no se haga pedazos y solo quede chicludito. Como el caldo ya tendrá sal no harå falta si no se le agrega otro poquito.
English Translation
Mix raw a little jitomate with onion and a tooth of garlic; fry it, add it to the strained broth until sufficient and add raw corn off the cob and cut the other corn on the cob into little wheels shapes (you can put the corn on the cob already cooked but you will lose a lot of flavor) when the corn is cooked put a slice of *chile gordo that has been passed over the fire, take off the end, de-vein it and wash it in salt. When you are ready to serve it, put in some pieces of cheese and a twig of epasote. The cheese should be the last thing you put into the soup so that the cheese does not become gummy or chewy. The broth already has salt so it will not need more so don’t add anymore.
*Chile Gordo (fat chili) is a type of chili pepper that is fat and green.

I love the expression "A tooth of garlic".
