Ingredients You’ll Need

1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 tbsp butter or oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 small carrot, finely chopped

1 tbsp beans, finely chopped (optional)

3 cups water or vegetable stock

1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

Salt, to taste

¼ tsp white pepper powder (or black pepper if you prefer)

1 tsp sugar (optional, but enhances sweetness)

1 tbsp spring onions, chopped for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Corn Base: Boil or steam half of the corn kernels until soft. Then blend them into a smooth paste using a little water. This gives the soup its creamy, signature texture.

Sauté the Veggies: In a pan, heat butter or oil. Add onions, carrots, and beans. Sauté them lightly for 2–3 minutes — just enough to soften them while keeping their crunch.

Combine Everything: Add the corn paste and the remaining whole corn kernels to the pan. Pour in the water or stock, then add salt and sugar. Stir well and let it simmer for 5–6 minutes on medium flame.

Thicken It Up: Mix cornflour with 2 tablespoons of water to make a smooth slurry. Slowly pour this into the soup while stirring constantly. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes — and watch your soup turn silky and rich.

Finish and Serve: Add pepper powder, adjust seasoning, and garnish with fresh spring onions. Serve hot — preferably with some crispy noodles or toast on the side.

Pro Tips & Variations

Add a splash of soy sauce or vinegar for that restaurant-style Indo-Chinese flavor.

For non-vegetarians, toss in some shredded chicken while simmering.

Craving a kick? Add a dash of chili sauce before serving.
