How to Make Sweet Corn Soup at Home
This sweet corn soup recipe is perfect for anyone who enjoys simple homemade food with fresh ingredients.
Sweet corn soup works fine when it is cold out and you want something warm but not too heavy. It has that sweet taste from the corn and you can throw in a carrot or some cabbage if you feel like it. I think blending half the corn helps give it body without needing much else.
You need about a cup of kernels, one small onion, a couple garlic cloves, and three cups of water or stock. A bit of oil or butter for the pan, plus salt and pepper. Cornstarch mixed with cold water thickens it at the end. Fresh or frozen both turn out okay, though the frozen kind saves time.
Heat the pan and cook the onion and garlic first until they smell good. Then add the chopped carrot and the whole kernels. Pour in the liquid with the blended corn and let it simmer until the vegetables soften. It takes maybe eight or ten minutes. Stir now and then so nothing sticks.
After that the soup can be seasoned more if it needs it. The cornstarch slurry goes in slowly while you keep stirring. It thickens up pretty quick after that. Some people like spring onion on top but it is not required.
Too much cornstarch makes it sticky so go easy there. If it gets too thick later just add a splash of water when reheating. Leftovers keep in the fridge for a few days as long as you cool them fast.
It goes with toast or rice on the side. The flavor stays simple which is probably why it feels comforting. You can skip the cornstarch if you blend more corn instead.
