    Hey friend! I want to share a simple and comforting sweet corn soup recipe here with you today. Sweet Corn soup in Fall/Winter, you ask? And I will totally agree with your apprehension. There is no fresh corn to be found this time of the year – so why a corn soup? I have always written about my love for seasonal and local produce, but the thing about this soup is that it does not use fresh corn (it of course could, and more on that in a bit).

    Sweet Corn Soup is Indo-Chinese

    This sweet corn soup belongs to the Indo-Chinese fusion dishes (like these schezwan corn and zucchini) page on an Indian restaurant menu. I have shared a few recipes in the past from this cuisine (Honey Chilli Potatoes, Chilli Paneer). And as bizarre as “Indo-Chinese” cuisine sounds, it is so good and tasty and is something that you can find only in Indian restaurants or street-carts. My Chinese friends have told me that the flavors and sauces we use are not even close to traditional Chinese foods. But then – So be it! At the end of the day, food has to taste good, make you happy and satisfy your soul. That is what matters. Cuisines, recipes, regions, are all man-made boundaries that, I believe, restrict you instead of empowering you.

    Ingredients that you will need

    Anyways, there is nothing complicated about this soup. The ingredient list is simple and easy to find and it comes together in a breeze and tastes great.

    • Sweet Corn - Use canned cream style corn or see notes in the recipe card below if you want to use fresh corn (hello summer!)
    • Vegetables - onions, carrots, green beans, and cauliflower - all chopped real fine. And frozen peas. You could also use frozen carrots and peas.
    • Broth - use good quality vegetable broth with a mild flavor.
    • Garnish - do not skip the green chili vinegar. It's legit a flavor bomb!

    A family favorite

    It is great for fall evenings to sit down and slowly slurp on all the veggie goodness. Our kids love it, it is packed with nutrition, and is a perfect start to a home-cooked meal. Now, if you want to make this soup in summer, when plenty of fresh corn is available, ditch the canned stuff, and use that tender, juicy, and sweet tasting corn that is flooding the grocery stores and farm stands. Please do! (See note at end of the recipe).

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 can Cream Style Corn
    • 1 tablespoon Oil
    • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
    • 1 teaspoon Grated Ginger
    • 1 White Onion finely chopped
    • ¼ cup Celery chopped
    • ¼ cup Peas frozen
    • 1 Carrot diced (about ¼ cup)
    • ¼ cup Thinly sliced Green Beans
    • ½ cup Finely chopped Cauliflower about ¼ head of a cauliflower
    • Salt and black pepper– to taste
    • 2 cups Vegetable Broth
    • ½ cup Water to adjust consistency

    For toppings/garnish

    • 2 Green Onions green parts thinly sliced for garnish
    • 2 green chilies thinly sliced and mixed in 2 tablespoon white vinegar with a pinch of salt
    • Soy sauce

    Instructions
     

    • Set a dutch oven or stock pot on medium high heat and add oil into it.
    • Add ginger and garlic, allow it to cook a little bit, without browning and then add in the chopped onions with a pinch of salt.
    • Stir around for 30 seconds and then add chopped celery followed by peas, carrots, green beans, and cauliflower.
    • Sauté everything together for a minute or two. Add the canned cream style corn and season with salt and pepper.
    • Mix well and then add the broth. Stir around and get a feel about the consistency of the soup you like. It is going to cook down a bit and thicken. Add water accordingly (I normally end up adding half a cup).
    • Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat and let it simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes.
    • Check and adjust seasoning and serve hot garnished with sliced green onions and your choice of chili vinegar and soy sauce.

    Notes

    If using fresh corn, take two ears of corn, slice off the kernels, grind kernels from one cob and leave the kernels of the other one whole. You will have to cook the soup for 15-20 minutes after the first boil, if using fresh corn.

      I like tomato and corn soups. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I do make this soup at home but in a different way. Next time I will try as per your suggestions. Probably next time, it will have different taste.
