Method

Let’s see the steps to make homemade sweet corn soup.

Step 1

Start by boiling 4 cups of water in a pot. Add the thinly sliced carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Next, add the finely chopped French beans and cauliflower florets to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes. You can also use pre-boiled vegetables to save time.

Step 2

Next, we are going to mix one tablespoon of corn flour in a separate bowl with 1/2 cup of water. Mix it well to ensure there are no lumps. After that, add the creamed corn and sweet corn kernels to the pot and mix well. Pour the corn flour mixture into the pot and stir well to thicken the soup. Keep stirring until the soup thickens to the desired consistency.

Step 3

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar for extra sweetness. Garnish the soup with thinly sliced spring onion greens and serve hot.

Tips

• You can add other vegetables like mushrooms, peas, and bell peppers to the soup to make it more flavorful.
• You can use vegetable stock if you want instead of water. 
• If you don’t have creamed corn, you can make it home by blending fresh corn kernels with water and a pinch of sugar.
• Add a splash of milk or cream at the end to make the soup more creamy.
• Add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes if you like your soup spicier.
