Notes
Liquids: For the liquids, you can choose water or vegetable stock. If using canned veggie stock, then choose low sodium stock. To make a vegetarian soup, add ¾ cup of whole milk and ¾ cup of water.
Thickeners: For thickening the soup, I have used cornstarch. Swap cornstarch with arrowroot flour, tapioca starch or potato starch.
Sweet corn puree not only imparts a sweet and milky flavor to the soup but it also thickness. You may skip this if you do not want to go through that extra step of pureeing.
Sweet Corn: Instead of corn on the cob, you can use fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels. If using canned corn kernels, take about 1 cup and then rinse them well in water. Drain the water and then blend the corn kernels add 3 to 4 tablespoons of water or as needed to make a smooth paste.
Vegetables: To make the soup more colorful and flavorful, add vegetables like grated carrot, finely chopped french beans, grated cabbage, chopped broccoli, frozen green peas.
Consistency: Adjust the consistency by adding less or more water or veggie stock.
Corn starch helps to thicken the soup. If you want to skip using starch then simply blend 1 cup corn kernels with 1 cup water to a smooth puree and use that. Alternately you may use a small potato as shown in the recipe stepwise pics. The soup will be runny but still tastes good.
You can also add veggies like cabbage& green peas.
You can also use some shredded chicken. Saute chicken until tender, before adding the veggies.
