Sweet corn soup recipe | How to make sweet corn soup recipe

Sweet corn soup recipe – a comforting, healthy and delicious mixed soup make with corn kernels & veggies. Sweet corn soup is a popular soup from the Indo Chinese cuisine & is very common on the Indian Chinese restaurant menus.

It is a favorite among many Indians. Sweet corn soup is usually served as a starter before the Indo Chinese main meal. However it tastes so delicious and can just be had anytime of the day.

Sometimes I even end up making this for a weekend breakfast along with some bread toast or egg toast.

This soup goes also very well with some noodles or fried rice. You can also just add some boiled noodles to the soup towards the end to make a sweet corn noodle soup.

Usually Indian Chinese restaurants use corn starch to thicken the sweet corn soup. I rarely use corn starch and instead use a potato to thicken the soup. It tastes so good and is healthier.

Preparation for sweet corn soup

1. I used carrots, beans, peas, spring onions and sweet corn kernels. I used potato as well to thicken the soup. It is optional and you may skip if you prefer the Indo Chinese style.

2. Wash, peel and chop carrots. Also chop spring onions, beans, garlic and ginger.

3. Heat oil in a pot. Add ginger garlic and saute until it turns aromatic. You can also skip ginger if you do not prefer.

4. Then add spring onion whites, peas, sweet corn, potatoes (optional) & beans. Saute them on a high flame for 2 to 3 mins.

5. Pour water and mix well. Simmer the soup until the veggies turn tender.

6. Optional – When the veggies are soft, stir in 1 tsp corn starch with few tbsps. Water and pour it slowly to the soup.

If desired you can also puree half cup corn kernels with little water in a blender until you get a smooth puree. Then pass it through a strainer and mix well. Boil until the soup turns thick to suit your liking.

7. Add sugar, salt, spring onion greens & pepper. Taste the soup and add more salt if needed.

Transfer to serving bowls and you can add a bit of vinegar & chilli sauce for restaurant flavors. Serve sweet corn soup hot or warm.

Tips to make sweet corn soup

  1. I have use frozen sweet corn kernels. You can also use corn on the cob. Just rinse the corn cob first and then remove the kernels with a knife.
  2. You can also use canned sweet corn kernels.
  3. To make Chinese restaurant style sweet corn soup, dissolve about 1 tsp corn starch in 2 few tbsps of water and pour it to the soup once the corn kernels are tender.
  4. Vinegar, chilli sauce & ground white pepper are served alongside sweet corn soup in restaurants. You can add them as desired just before serving. I avoid vinegar and chilli sauce as I have kids at home.
  5. Arrowroot powder or potato starch can also be used to thicken the soup.

Variations

  1. To make the soup creamy you can also puree half cup of sweet corn kernels with little water in a blender. Pass it through a strainer and boil until the soup thickens. You can also add some corn starch along with this.
  2. You can also add some shredded chicken to the soup. This turns very delicious and you can also stir in some soya sauce, green chili sauce & vinegar just before serving.
  3. Usually oil is used to make Indo Chinese soup. But you can also use butter to have a buttery soup. Garlic sauteed in butter lends a too good flavor to the soup. Kids will surely love this.
  4. You can even add some cooked noodles to this to make sweet corn soupy noodles.

You can also serve this to a baby over 8 months just skip the ginger garlic pepper in the recipe. Puree the veggies with some soup and serve.

    This soup was amazing, it filled my body and heart with warmth! The ginger can be a little strong, but I liked it. To get the full Indo-Chinese experience, I added 3 teaspoons of cornstarch to thicken it up a bit. 10/10 would make again!

      Siri,
      No problem at all.
      You can find palak in most indian stores or in mustafa, little India.
      These days you can find Indian stores in most places. I buy from a place near my home. Tell me where do u live. I can tell you the nearest place.
      Yes you can give red banana. You can also steam it until soft and give. Do not give regularly. Feed for 2 to 3 days and check if your baby is doing well.

          Welcome Siri
          Actually palak is known as spinach. There are many kinds of spinach available like chinese spinach, malayisan spinach etc. But usually we give only Indian spinach to babies, i think it is lighter to digest. I have no idea if there is any indian stores near ang mo kio. Probably you can check in a near by wet market. Usually many wet markets have some Indian stores.

      Hi Siri
      Babies will be unable to sleep early for 2 reasons
      1. Due to colic
      2. Beco’z of hunger. During 8 to 9 months, most babies become physically active either crawling, rolling around or playing etc this makes them feel hungry. When there is not enough food in the stomach they do not sleep quickly.
      You can start giving early dinner by 7 pm. Do check the baby food chart for food ideas and recipes.
      If you feel the baby is able to digest well. Then feed milk after 2 and a half to 3 hours, just before bed time.
      Hope these help

      Yes Siri you can blend it and give. Make it to a slightly thin soup and give. There is potato in the recipe, so do not feed in the night until your baby turns one. Before evening 6 is just fine.
      You can also replace potatoes with sweet potatoes or yellow pumpkin (curry pumpkin) or even bottle gourd.
