Cream of Corn Soup is a quick to make healthy, homemade vegetarian soup with Sweet Corn and Bell Peppers. Makes for a perfect Appetiser
Thankfully my kids like most soups made at home, Cheesy Manchow Soup (Indo Chinese version) being the current favourite of the elder one. The younger one prefers just two soups - Low Cal Tomato and maybe a Toor Dal + Carrot Soup. But I cant complain : most kids her age prefer junk food all 3 meals a day, and I have known moms being desperate to feed them any veggies 🙂
I can have soup as long as someone else makes it for me, and its well made (I am quite picky when it comes to my own food : I would rather have less food than not-so-good food), and the dear husband is miles away from any soup, unless its forced on to him as part of a weekend dinner along with home made bread !
so, what's cooking today is a new favourite that sprung up after I had a basketful of corn in the refrigerator and we had our fill of Corn Chaat and the like. The weather is kind of muggy with a splash of rain past few weeks and Soup for supper seemed like a good idea.
Do make this if you are fan of corn. Addition of bell peppers is optional, but the heat from the peppers is a good addition to the sweetness of the corn 🙂
Lets get to the recipe, now !
