  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or water with 1 vegetable stock cube)
  • 1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)

  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (optional, for flavor depth)

  • You can also leave it chunky if you prefer a rustic texture.
4. Thicken the Soup:

  • In a small bowl, mix cornflour with 3 tbsp water to make a smooth slurry.

Tips & Tricks:

1. Sweetness:

o If using fresh corn, the soup will be naturally sweet. Adjust sugar slightly if desired.

o Canned corn is also great but may need a little extra sweetness or seasoning adjustment.

2. Creamy Version:

o Add 2-3 tbsp cream or milk at the end for a richer, creamier soup.

3. Spice Variations:

o For a slightly spicy soup, add white pepper or a pinch of chili flakes.

o ginger and garlic can be increased for extra warmth.

4. Thick or Thin Soup:

o Adjust cornflour slurry for your desired consistency. More slurry = thicker soup; less = thinner, lighter soup.

5. Vegan Option:

o Use plant-based milk or coconut milk if making it creamy and keep it completely vegan.

This Sweet corn Soup is light, flavorful, and a perfect comfort food, especially during rainy or cold days. It’s also quick to make, taking about 20 minutes from start to finish. 🌽🥣
