Soup isn’t just for cold winter days. This light soup makes excellent use of summer’s bounty of greens and corn. It is particularly good with sturdy, slightly bitter greens, which are balanced by the sweetness of the corn.

1/2 cup diced onion
3 cups diced greens such as kale or mustard greens, about 1/2 bunch

1/2 cup leftover cooked rice
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
