ABOUT Healthy Sweet Corn Vegetable Soup RECIPE

Sumptuous but light creamy sweet corn soup with minimal spices but loaded with crunchy vegetables; perfect as a light and nutritious meal!

Ingredients Serving: 4

½ cup frozen corn or fresh corn
¼ cup finely chopped carrots
¼ cup finely chopped bell pepper/capsicum
¼ cup finely chopped cabbage
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
¼ cup finely chopped onions
2 green chillies/jalapenos, slit vertically
1 teaspoon each finely chopped ginger and garlic
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
Salt to taste
¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper
Green onions or coriander leaves/cilantro for garnishing

Instructions

Add about ¼ cup of water to the cornflour and mix well. Finely chop all the vegetables and keep aside. Take ¼ cup of corn and place in a small blender (leave the rest of the corn to add to the soup).
Blend corn with a little water to a coarse paste. Heat oil and butter in a large saucepan or wok.
Once the oil is hot, add onions, ginger, garlic and green chillies and sauté on medium high heat for a few minutes till the raw smell of the ginger and garlic is reduced and the onions turn soft.
Add corn, carrots and cabbage and sauté again for about a minute on high heat. Stir in the bell pepper and sauté again for a few seconds. Tip in the crushed corn.
Add about 3 to 3 ½ cups of hot water and mix well. Stir in salt to taste and give it a good mix. Bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, add the cornstarch, dissolved in water, stirring continuously, to thicken the soup.
Add vinegar and black pepper powder; give it a good stir. Do a taste test and adjust the amount of vinegar, salt and pepper according to your taste.
Serve hot, soothing, comforting sweet corn soup garnished with finely chopped green onions or coriander leaves.
