About Corn Soup
Sweet Corn Soup can be made several ways but this is my version close to restauarnt style. You can add other vegetables if you like but this version is so creamy, rich and delicious that I would recommend to stick with adding just tender sweet corn kernels.
The speciality of this soup is that it comes out so creamy that you do not need to add any additional thickent agent like cornflour. However I’ve included cornflour in the ingredients list but its optional. You can make this Sweet Corn Soup using fresh corn on the cob or corn kernels or even frozen corn but make sure to use only sweet corn and not regular corn.
Sweet Corn Soup Ingredients
- Sweet Corn – Choose tender juicy sweet corn kernels. You can use use fresh corn on the cob or buy readymade shaved corn kernels(like how I did) or use frozen sweet corn.
- Milk – Use boiled, warm milk do not add raw milk. Use full fat milk for rich results as we are not adding any cream here.
- Herbs & Spices – I have used parsely, pepper powder. If you do not have parsely just replace it with oregano or any seasoning herb.
- Cornflour(optional) – I have not used cornflour slurry. If you wish to add – mix 1 tsp cornflour to 2 tbsp water, mix well to form cornflour slurry. If you are using add it in step 18.
- Garnish – I have used spring onion and pepper powder for garnish.

Notes
- Adding soya sauce gives a nice chinese flavour to the soup, if you wish you can add 1/8 tsp, don’t add more it will change the flavour and color of the soup. If you have vegetable stalk, add it instead of water.
- If you want you can 1/4 cup fresh cream to make this soup more rich and creamy.
- Adjust water according to the thick consistency of the soup.
- Spring onions / coriander leaves can be added for garnishing.
- After adding corn flour the soup thickens faster so adjust water accordinglyif you are adding cornflour slurry.

Serving & Storage Suggestion
Sweet Corn Soup is a great dish to savour by itself. However you can accompany it with bread, croutons or garlic bread, pasta etc.
Sweet Corn Soup keeps well in room temperature for about a day and in fridge for 1 more day. As its milk based soup I would suggest to consume and finish it off the day it is made itself.
FAQS
1.How to check if corn is cooked perfectly?
You can check doneness of corn by tasting and seeing the color change. Sweet corn is mostly pale yellow in color when raw but after the corn is cooked it becomes deep yellow in color.
2.What is corn soup made of?
Corn Soup is made using sweet corn kernels, milk, herbs, spices etc. You can use fresh corn or tinned corn or even frozen corn this recipe. I would recommend using fresh sweet corn kernels.
