    This Sweet Corn vegetable soup is a creamy and comforting soup that can be enjoyed year-round. It is full of sweet corn, packed with veggies, and has the perfect amount of spices that are guaranteed to delight your taste buds.

    And did I mention, this corn soup is incredibly easy to make, vegan, gluten-free, and comes together in less than 30 minutes.

    When it comes to comfort food, a bowl of good hearty soup and stews are my go-to recipes.

    Whether it be, Roasted tomato basil soup, Tamatar ka Shorba (Spiced tomato soup), or the Instant Pot Broccoli lentil soup, I love the soup season, and cannot get enough of these hearty soups.

    Coming back to the recipe- this sweet corn vegetable soup is a thick and hearty soup that has a wholesome combination of corn, and vegetables and that’s what makes it an absolute hit with all ages!

    Unlike the smooth and creamy soups, this corn soup is chunky and has solid yet soft veggies in it.

    I like to call it a crossover between a bisque and a soup.

    Ingredients that make up the soup

    Is this Sweet Corn Soup good for you?

    YES, absolutely! sweet corn vegetable soup

    This is a very nourishing soup that is perfect for the cold and flu season. For the perfect flavors, I have used a combination of corn with carrots, cabbage, and scallions.

    These veggies, altogether, provide all the flavor and depth you’ll need in a bowl of soup. 

    Now, let’s see what goes into this sweet corn soup?

    » Cream of sweet corn is the main ingredient. Corn adds an extra sweetness and texture to this corn soup. In addition to that, it is packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

    » Carrots, as we all know, are full of vitamins and antioxidants, and I use it very often in my soups because it adds more texture and oomph to soups and stews. 

    » Cabbage is a nutrient-rich, low-calorie vegetable. It’s also an excellent source of fiber, folate, and potassium.  

    » For the flavor, I have used Tamari and simple spices like salt and pepper.

    » Cornstarch slurry is added for thickening. 

    How to make the Sweet Corn soup?

    1. Heat oil in a pan.  sweet corn vegetable soup

    Cooking Tips, Faq’s, and variations to make a perfect sweet corn soup!

    Cooking Tips

    » I prefer to keep my soups mildly spices. However, if you like, you can add a dash of smoked paprika or chili flakes to your soup. 

    » For more rich flavor, add vegetable stock to this sweet corn soup. 

    » To make life easier, you can use store-bought cream of corn. It goes by many names like cream of corn, cream-style sweet corn, golden sweet corn, and creamed corn.

    » This corn soup will thicken as it cools. Feel free to thin it out with extra water or vegetable broth if desired.

    Variations

    » Can’t find the cream of corn? No worries, make it at home. 

    To make cream of corn – Combine one cup boiled corn kernels with one tablespoon softened butter and 1/2 cup milk. Using a high-speed blender blend the corn until smooth. Use as directed in the recipe. 

    » The closest substitute to cornstarch is arrowroot flour. You can thicken your corn soup with arrowroot flour slurry. 

    » If you are not sensitive to gluten, use soy sauce as a substitute to Tamari. 

    » This sweet corn vegetable soup is so versatile that you can combine it with almost any vegetable, and the outcome will be the same. Therefore, get creative and add additional vegetables of your choice to this corn soup like diced zucchini, diced celery, frozen peas, and diced bell peppers.
