Sweet Corn Soup

This Sweet Corn Soup is a delightful and comforting vegan dish, perfect for a light lunch. With its creamy texture and natural sweetness from fresh corn, it's a bowl of sunshine that warms the soul.

Ingredients

• Fresh corn kernels - 300 grams
• Vegetable broth - 500 ml
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Scallions - 2, chopped
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a pot, heat a tablespoon of water over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the fresh corn kernels and sauté for another 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
5. Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the soup to thicken it slightly, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions and cilantro.
