Vegetarian Sweet Corn Soup - Recipe

 The best sweet corn soup recipe with our tried and tested tips on how to incorporate corn into the soup without canned corn for unbeatable flavour and how to get that creamy restaurant style taste!😋😋😋

Sweet Corn - Incorporate it 2 ways

To get that thick, creamy soup packed with flavours of sweet corn, we've incorporated the sweet corn in 2 ways. 

Sweet Corn Kernel Paste: Most restaurants use canned sweet corn when making sweet corn soup. It's what makes the soup thick, creamy, and so delicious. Blending some sweet corn kernels and adding the paste to the soup gives the exact same effect and flavour without any processed ingredients! The paste, when added with the veggies, will get lightly cooked and lose that raw flavour.

Whole Sweet Corn Kernels: This is my favourite part of sweet corn soup. I love biting into sweet corn kernels and that burst of sweetness in my mouth. We have added these whole and directly with the other veggies.

Prepping the Veggies

We love it when this cream of corn soup is loaded with veggies, so we added generous amounts of beans, carrots and spring onions. Chopping is the only real work in this recipe, so put on some music and get chopping. Make sure you cut all the veggies in approximately the same shapes and sizes. This ensures that they all cook evenly.

Cornflour Slurry

Using cornflour slurry is the best thickening agent for any soup. The measurements for the slurry are given below in the recipe card. It's important to add the cornflour to cold water, and ensure that there are no lumps in it before adding it to the soup. Within a few seconds of adding it to the soup, you'll see the soup thickening up. You know that corn flour is cooked when the soup becomes translucent.

Top tips to make the best sweet corn soup

1. Add whole sweet corn kernels and sweet corn paste for extra taste.

2. Cornstarch can also be used instead of cornflour to thicken the soup - measurements will vary.

3. Make sure the cornflour slurry DOES NOT have any lumps in it. The lumps will not dissolve in the        soup later.

4. Let the soup simmer so that all the flavours come together nicely and the soup thickens.

5. We've seasoned this sweet corn vegetable soup with ground pepper, vinegar, and soy sauce. You can      also add chilli sauce, chilli vinegar, white pepper powder, and so on, to suit your taste preferences.
