Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped carrots
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped French beans
- 5 cups water
- 1 tablespoon corn flour
- 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh coriander, finely chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Boil the Sweet Corn
Boil the sweet corn kernels in water for 2–3 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Corn Puree
Take about ½ cup of the boiled corn and grind it with a little water to make a smooth paste or puree.
Step 3: Start the Soup Base
In a large soup pan, add 5 cups of water. Add the remaining boiled corn kernels, chopped carrots, chopped beans, and salt to taste.
Step 4: Cook the Vegetables
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 5: Add the Corn Puree
Add the prepared corn puree to the boiling soup. Stir well, then add sugar and black pepper powder. Let the soup boil for 2 minutes.
Step 6: Prepare the Corn Flour Slurry
In a small bowl, combine corn flour and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well until a smooth slurry forms without lumps.
Step 7: Thicken the Soup
Slowly pour the slurry into the boiling soup while stirring continuously. This helps create a smooth and slightly thick texture.
Step 8: Simmer the Soup
Mix well and allow the soup to boil for another 2–3 minutes until it thickens.
Step 9: Add Butter and Coriander
Add butter and freshly chopped coriander leaves. Let the soup simmer for 1 minute.
Step 10: Serve Hot
Turn off the heat and serve the Sweet Corn Soup hot in serving bowls.
