Corn is in season and this recipe uses fresh corn on the cob along with other veggies for a lipsmacking yet light sweet corn vegetable soup. My kids love it. And even though I made a very big batch, they lapped it up. This is not the Indo-Chinese sweet corn soup that you get in many Indo-Chinese places but a warm and hearty sweet corn vegetable soup that you can relish in the rainy season or during winter.
Here is my recipe of sweet corn vegetable soup
4 Hearty serves
Ingredients:
2 cup fresh corn (you can use frozen as well)
1.5 cups mixed vegetables
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. ginger-garlic minced
1 tbsp. fresh pepper powder
1 teaspoon fresh turmeric or ¼ tsp. turmeric powder
salt to taste
1 maggi vegetable seasoning cube
2.5 cups water
1 cup milk
Recipe:
Heat butter in a pan and lightly saute minced ginger and garlic for about 1 minute.
Now add finely chopped mixed vegetables. I used zucchini, carrot and tender green beans. Saute for a couple of minutes.
Add 2.5 cups of water along with maggi vegetable seasoning cube (crushed) and fresh turmeric or turmeric powder. Add shelled or thawed corn.
Bring to a boil and cook till the vegetables are well cooked.
Cool down and blend half of the vegetables. I leave the other half chunky. If you want your soup to be completely smooth then blend it completely.
Now bring it back to the boil after adding 1 cup of milk. Add salt and pepper powder.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Your sweet corn vegetable soup is ready to serve. Have it hot with toasted bread on the side or you can make a meal by having with the protein of your choice.
Pro Tips:
This is a thick and filling soup made with only vegetables.
If you like your soup to be thicker, you can add half boiled and mashed potato to thicken it.
You can use any combination of veggies that you like. Add broccoli, cabbage, capscicum etc. as per taste or availability.
The addition of pepper and fresh turmeric makes this soup good for immunity and minor coughs and colds.
Adding more sweet corn gives a subtle sweetness to the taste of the soup making it delicious.
If you don’t have Maggi seasoning cube, you can use any vegetable stock cube or 1 tsp. of garam masala.
Hope you make this soup and enjoy it. Let me know how it turns out.

I like the idea of blending half of it and leaving the rest chunky! It's how I like my soups too , although I do like those clear soups too, once in a while.
Big fan of sweet corn in all its forms. It's one of the tastiest things to eat 🙂

Sounds good. And I have two cobs of corn with me. Will certainly try it.

I too love sweet corn and this is my go-to comfort food during winters. Maybe, the chicken version though. 🙂 I will try your recipe next time.

Instead of using potatoes, try using a handful of boiled lentils (toor ya masoor) to make a soup think and creamy, I just love that!
Sweetcorn is a staple at home as the husband just loves it! We make this soup pretty often at home and we love the warmth it provides.
