Sweet Corn Soup Ingredient List

Cream of Corn — The main ingredient of this recipe, cream of corn, can be prepared at home, or you can use the store-bought one. It adds sweetness and texture to our delicious recipe. It also packs the soup with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. 

Soy Sauce — Lends flavor to the soup and can be substituted with gluten-free tamari in this recipe. 

Vegetable Stock/ water — This is added to the soup for a more intense vegetable flavor. 

Sugar — Just half a teaspoon to add some sweetness. 

Veggies — Carrots, cabbage, and scallions are the veggies that are used for making this delicious Sweet Corn Soup. They bring vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to the soup. You may also add other veggies of your choice, but make sure that their flavors complement each other.

Cornstarch Slurry — This is used for thickening the soup.

Recipe Tips and Variations

Choice of corn — You can use fresh and canned corn to prepare this recipe. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it well to eliminate the extra sodium used in the preservation process. If this step is neglected, your soup will have extra sodium content, and this is something we don’t want.

Soup’s texture — Corn kernels lend a fantastic texture to the soup; therefore, blend half the corn to make the cream of corn while saving the rest for adding back to the soup when it is simmering. 

Alternatives — You can use both fresh and frozen corn for this recipe, as both work equally well. 

Roasted corn for optimum flavors — For adding a smoky flavor to the soup, you may roast or grill the corn. This takes the recipe to a new level.

To make the soup spicy — This recipe of Sweet Corn Soup is devoid of spiciness but can be spiced up according to individual liking. Adding a dash of chili sauce, sriracha sauce, or even a jalapeno pepper is excellent for adding spiciness to this recipe. 

For added proteins — You can add grilled chicken pieces to the soup for extra protein. 

For extra creaminess — If you like your soup extra creamy, add a tablespoon of fresh cream. It lends richness and a luscious texture to the soup. 

Substitutes of water — You can swap water with vegetable or chicken stock. It will add more flavor and nutrition to the soup.

Substitute of cornstarch slurry — You may not be a fan of cornstarch slurry, and there is nothing to bother about! The soup can be thickened with dried potato flakes if you are not using cornstarch slurry. Just stir the flakes into the simmering soup until thickened, and enjoy the thick soup of your liking. You can also use arrowroot flour slurry to thicken the soup.

For thinner consistency — This Sweet Corn Soup thickens as it cools. To maintain its texture, you may add extra water or vegetable broth and bring it back to the desired consistency. 

Substituting the Soy sauce — If you are sensitive to gluten, you may resort to Tamari sauce.

Cornstarch Slurry — Make sure there are no lumps in the cornflour slurry mixture. If there are lumps in the mix, sieve it through a strainer and add it to the simmering sweet corn soup. When adding the slurry to the sweet corn soup, ensure you drizzle it in a steady stream, mixing the soup as you pour. If your slurry has no lumps, your soup will be smooth and creamy textured.

Versatile recipe — This recipe of Sweet Corn Soup is very versatile, and you can prepare it using any vegetables of your choice. Therefore, get creative and experiment by adding other veggies, like – 

• diced zucchini,
