Sweet Corn Soup

Restaurant Style Sweet Corn Soup:

Sweet Corn Soup. Corn Kernels Soup. Vegetable-Sweet Corn Soup.

I am talking about the unique recipe, that found on Indian restaurant menu(in India)! The true restaurant style, 'Sweet Corn Soup'! Although its not an authentic food...restaurant's custom created (catered) to suit the needs of Indian palate! What I wonder is, we grow lots of field corns in India...rather sweet corn! But somehow...restaurants manage to get them through out the year!! Sounds nice huh!

I never payed attention to vegetarian food on the menu! My friend Balaji introduced me to this dish. As per the un written law...we always go for that 1 by 2, when we order soup! (Its hard to hang out with vegetarians,you know...ha ha). Anyways...I am glad that I tried it! Wow...another veggie delight, that took my heart away.

I really struggled a lot to find the exact recipe for this. Since its totally a restaurant food...not many home chefs were aware of it. So...with minimum idea, I kept trying and trying...to perfect the recipe. Finally my Auntie helped me to figure out, the mistake I am doing (that's where chili sauce comes in...its our little secret, okay)!!!

Ingredients:

Sweet corn 2 ears
Corn kernels 1 table spoon
Corn flour 2-4 spoons
Vegetable broth
Sugar
Salt
Vinegar cap full
Chili sauce 2 spoons
Soy sauce 2 spoons
Vegetables sliced (carrots, string beans, Green Onions)
Vegetable oil.

Method:

Shred the kernels alone...cook them using vegetable broth. Once then are tender. Blend them coarsely, set aside.

In a wide pot, heat oil. Add flour, sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce and chili sauce...fry for 2 minutes.

Then add blended corn puree. Cover and cook for a while. Let it consolidate.

Now, add vegetables too. Let it come to boil.

Serve warm!
