Cloudy Corn Soup, it’s my new favourite soup!
I love including soups in my diet and there are many different types of soups I make and this new Cloudy Corn Soup has become my new favourite. It’s very light, vegan, gluten-free and creamy-cloudy with sweetest white corn. I love serving this soup with simple fried rice, spicy chicken and cucumber salad, it is a perfect spread for a cold day. It’s a shame we don’t have that here in Singapore but we still love our soups.
This Cloudy Corn Soup is a versatile and customisable recipe!
I have kept this recipe completely vegan but you can make this cloudy corn soup with chicken stock.
- You can add shredded chicken for some protein and body to this cloudy corn soup.
- You can also add eggs, that will give that laciness to the soup.
- You can also add some crispy tortillas in this soup, trust me it tastes fantastic!
This Cloudy Corn Soup is made with minimum ingredients but it packs a punch! 🥊
I wanted to keep the recipe very simple but something which will pack a punch! I have added white pepper to give that pungent flavour to this soup, it gives a nice peppery kick and toasted sesame oil to give a nutty taste. If you can’t find white peppercorn, add black peppercorns, that tastes great too. I have added vegetables such as red capsicum (bell pepper) and spring onions apart from sweet corn.
If you like soups as much as I do then do check some of these recipes out.
So let’s get to the recipe!
