EASY SWEET CORN SOUP

August 21, 2019 by curryandvanilla 2 Comments

Sweet corn soup – a soothing, comforting and warm bowl of delicious corn soup with a dash of vegetables, an all-weather soup for the whole family!

sweet corn soup

Come summer and all the markets are flooded with huge mounds of fresh corn from a nearby farm, our neighborhood store included! This is the time they are the juiciest, tastiest, sweetest and peaked in nutrition!

My husband loves to enjoy whole steamed corn slathered with some butter/ghee, salt and a sprinkle of red chili powder or cayenne pepper powder! But with a whole basket of fresh corn and me wanting to take advantage of the freshest taste, I had to make our family favorite sweet corn soup!

Now, who does not like soup? I am sure, every restaurant order always starts with everyone ordering some sort of soup and if it is an Indo-Chinese one, then Creamy Sweet Corn soup tops the list!

When the summer special fresh corn hits the markets, I love to make my mango, corn and sprouts salad with the freshest, juiciest sweet corn and of course mangoes right off the trees, maybe a Konkani (south Indian) style Corn on the Cob Ghashi, but some of them do end up as our favorite soup!

All you need is 10 basic ingredients (salt and oil/butter included) but can be made vegan by using only oil instead of butter!

I have blended half of the fresh corn kernels for the creamy texture and the other half for those juicy, sweet bites of summery delight! For that Asian flavor, use fresh green/spring onions and the only other aromatic I have used is garlic!

One special flavor I enjoy mixing in most of my soups is a bullion cube, specifically Maggi Vegetable Seasoning cube which imparts this dash of heavenly taste, aroma and flavor, but I have made soup without it and that tastes equally amazing too! Both have their own level of deliciousness! You could substitute with any of your favorite seasoning cube!

Once you have all the ingredients ready, it takes less than 15 minutes to dig into a large bowl of this creamy, piping hot and super comforting and delicious sweet corn soup!

Enjoy it with a splash of chili vinegar or a shower of freshly chopped green onion or chives on top and maybe fried rice or a sandwich on the side to complete the meal!

This summery bowl of corn goodness is:

Light

Healthy

Comforting

Savory with a dash of sweetness from the fresh corn

Ready in a jiffy; need I say more?

      Thanks for pointing out the error. Edited into the recipe now.
      You can add green chilies along with the green onions and sauté a bit.
      If you do not like them, then feel free to add just black pepper powder instead too.
      I am sure you will love this simple soup.
      Another variation is also linked in the post and this one uses more veggies in it! Do check out that too.
