Sweet Corn Soup (Veg)

Sweet corn soup is a delicious nutritious vegetable soup made with sweet corns, french beans, carrots and spring onions. It is vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and tastes slightly on sweeter side bursting with corn flavour.

Winters are incomplete without hot steaming cup of soup and this easy to make, quick corn vegetable soup is perfect for this season. It is low in fat, light on stomach as it has no cream or milk.

This soup is made using few basic ingredients and can easily be customised as per your taste. We will use corn in two ways- first by blending the kernels (to make creamed corn) and second by using whole kernels. The blended corns enhances the sweet corn flavour in soup and also act as a thickener.

Sweet Corn Soup Ingredients:

Sweet Corn- Both fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels can be used to make this soup. If you are using frozen corn then thaw & wash them first. We will coarsely blend half the quantity & use rest as it is for soft, juicy corn flavour.

Veggies- Crunchy vegetables like french beans, carrots, onions add lovely flavour and texture to the soup. You can add other veggies also like bell peppers, peas, cauliflower or broccoli soup as per your liking.

Oil- The vegetables are initially sautéed in cooking oil. You can use olive oil sunflower oil or even use butter for rich taste.

Aromatics- Spring onion and ginger add a lovely aroma to the soup. If you like garlic, then feel free to add 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves. For more refreshing flavour you can add fresh chopped herbs like cilantro or coriander.

Cornstarch– For thickening the soup, I have used cornstarch (also known as cornflour). It is first mixed with room temperature water while whisking continuously to avoid any lumps and then added to the soup. If you want broth like consistency then skip it.

Seasoning: The soup is seasoned with simple salt and freshly crushed black pepper. If you like it spicy, then feel free to add some chilli flakes or finely chopped green chillies while sautéing the vegetables.

Vinegar & sugar: are added to balance the sweet sour flavours of soup. You can skip sugar if you want and vinegar can be replaced with lemon juice.
