This vegetarian sweet corn soup recipe is perfect for when you’re craving something hot and soupy. It’s super simple to prepare and the only real work is chopping the veggies. There aren’t any components or techniques that you need to stress about, so relax and make this soup this evening!
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.
