8 servings

4 ears fresh corn (2 cups kernels)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
or 2 cups canned Italian plum tomatoes with liquid,
processed through a food mill
4 cups beef stock [or chicken stock or broth]
4 thin zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil or
1 tablespoon dried, crumbled
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt
1 cup whipping cream

Cook corn in boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and

Melt butter with oil in heavy large saucepan over low heat. Add onion,
