How to Make Sweet Corn Soup Recipe

• In a broad saucepan, add the vegetable / chicken stock.
• To the stock, add all the seasoning ingredients.
• Stir well and add the chopped vegetables except corn kernels.
• Corn kernels, if left to boil too long, will lose its sugar content and taste bad. Hence, add it only in the last 5-6 mins of the stock boiling.
• Once the stock comes to a boil and the vegetables are tender and not mushy, turn off the heat.
• In another saucepan, add corn flour, maida and all the seasoning ingredients. Stir continuously while the elements are added.
• Add the cream and keep stirring the flour to avoid any lump. Ensure this is done off the heat. Once the flour and cream combine well and you get a pourable consistency of liquid, place the pan on heat continuing to stir.
• Add the butter and keep whisking. You will find the liquid thickening, this will be your white sauce.
• Add the corn and the stock to the prepared sauce or vice versa. Keep stirring else you'd end up with lumps of flour in your soup.
• Cook for an additional 5-6 mins till you get a creamy consistency of the soup.
• Garnish with coriander or spring onions accompanied with toasted wheat bread.
• You could boil the corn cob in water and separate the kernels easily by using a knife.
• You could remove the sauce completely and instead saute some onions with butter. Add the corn kernels and stock. Let it come to a boil and then just blend it to a puree with a stick blender. Pour 2-3 eggs in a stringy fashion over the soup and let it simmer. Add the seasoning and just eat.
• You can replace the butter with olive oil and make it healthier.
