Pin It

As I always say, I am not a soup person but when it comes to tomato soup and sweet corn soup, I just can break the rule. The sudden change of chill climate makes me crave for something hot and this soup perfectly fits the bill. Its easy and tasty, do try and see.

Sweet Corn Soup Recipe:

Serves 2

Ingredients :
Serves 2

• American Sweet Corn Cob - 1
• Butter - 1/2 tsp
• Water - 1.5 cups
• Pepper - 1 tsp
• Salt - to taste
• Corn Flour - 1 tbsp (mix it with 5 tbsp's of water)
• Vegetable Stock - 1/4 cup (optional)
• Soy Sauce - 1/4 tsp

Method:

1. Pressure cook the corn for 4-5 whistles or until soft with a cup of water. After the pressure releases, take the corn cobs and shred the kernels completely.
2. Grind the corns kernels with little water say 1/2 cup to a thick paste. Reserve few for garnishing.
3. Add the corn flour with water , mix well without any lumps and keep aside
4. Heat a pan with butter, add the corn paste, allow it to boil for 3mins. Add 1 cup water, vegetable stock(boiled vegetable water), cornflour water paste and mix well. Add required salt.
5. Add soya sauce,pepper and mix well. Allow it to boil for 5-7 mins until the soup is thick. Switch off. Garnish with remaining corn kernels and serve hot with soup sticks or bread.

My Notes:

• Adding soyasauce gives a nice flavour to the soup. If you dont have vegetable stalk just ignore and proceed with the remaining ingredients.
• Adjust water according to the thick consistency of the soup.
• Spring onions can also be added for garnishing
• After adding corn flour the soup thickens faster so adjust water accordingly at this stage.
