Sweet corn soup is my personal favorite,especially in monsoon.

This recipe is little different from regular sweet corn soup,is little more spicy and flavorful…a must try…

Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients:

2 tsp Oil.

1 ½ tsp Garlic, chopped.

1 ½ tsp Ginger, chopped.

1 tsp Green chillies, chopped.

¼ cup French beans, chopped.

¼ cup Carrots, diced.

¼ cup Corn, boiled.

1 tsp Green chilli sauce.

¾ cup Corn puree.

2 cups Vegetable stock.

Salt to taste.

1 tsp Sugar.

2 tbsp Corn four slurry (Corn flour+ water)

½ tsp Vinegar.

¼ cup Spring onions, chopped.

Method:

Heat oil in a pan and add in garlic, ginger and green chillies.

Let it fry for a minute,add in the French beans, carrots and boiled corn.

Saute them for 2 minutes and add in green chilli sauce and mix.

Add in the corn puree and mix everything.

Pour in the vegetable stock and mix well.
Season the soup with salt and sugar. Cover with a lid and let this come to a boil.

Later reduce the flame and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and pour in the prepared corn flour slurry. Stir immediately, otherwise you will end up with a lumpy soup.
Once the soup thickens add in the vinegar and mix. Cook for further 2-3 minutes and then turn off the flame.
Garnish the soup with spring onions and serve hot.

Happy Cooking!
