I've long been tinkering about with a bottle of Bailey's, seeing how it could best be called upon in the kitchen, and I think, with this, I've found it. An Italian friend of mine, who makes a killer tiramisu herself, was an instant convert. I was relieved: the Italians generally are conservative about their food, which goes some way to explaining the longevity of their cherished culinary traditions. But this only sounds like some sort of joke — "Did you hear the one about the Irishman and the Italian...?" — and in reality is an elegantly buff-tinted, creamy-toned variant of the punchy, if comfortably cliched, original. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

There was a British singing outfit in the Seventies called Instant Sunshine and this is it in soup form. The silkiness comes from the peppers which are quickly blitzed in a hot oven, then blended with the sweetcorn which is cooked in stock. There's nothing more to it, and it is health-giving and mood-boosting — providing sunshine on a rainy day. I like this smooth and velvety with nuggets of the sweetcorn running through it, though you can make it as liquidized or as rough as you please. As for the peppers: it wouldn't matter if you used 2 yellow or 2 orange. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
