SWEET CORN & VEGETABLE SOUP
In our house, winter time is soup time! Primarily because of the weather we prefer to have soups with dinner. Elsewhere in this blog, you will find recipes for different types of soup such as Lemon & Coriander Soup, Green Peas & Mint Soup, and Spinach Soup.
Today's recipe is for a soup made with sweet corn and vegetables like carrots, cauliflower and French beans. I would urge you to try this out for yourself. I am sure you will love it especially when it is piping hot while it is cold and windy outside.
It has been adapted from Sweet Corn & Vegetable Soup by Tarlaji Dalal and is part of her collection of Chinese Soups.
As you will see from the ingredients listed below, while most of the sweet corn is used in boiled form, some amount has to be lightly crushed after it has been boiled. This soup is served with chillies in vinegar which can be made quite easily.
Ingredients:
To this add the boiled sweet corn kernels as well as the boiled and crushed sweet corn kernels and the finely chopped and boiled vegetables
