Sweet Corn Soup is a light and comforting bowl of deliciousness packed with so much flavor that comes from corn, green onions, ginger garlic, and carrots!
As the winter season begins, I crave warm soups. The best thing about soups is that they gather easily and there is no rule per se what can be added and what cannot be added into a soup! The leftover vegetables make the best soup, in my opinion.
This sweet corn soup was also made sort of to use up leftover veggies- spring onions, green beans, carrots, and frozen corn! Such a simple yet creamy soup that gathers in just 15 minutes. No much prepping or elaborate cooking!
Perfect for a quick meal or a starter, this sweet corn soup with carrots is easy to make and great for chilly days. Even picky eaters won't say No to this amazing soup.

How To make Sweet Corn Soup
Step 1. Prep Veggies and Sauté Onion and Garlic
Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add green chili, grated garlic, and grated ginger. After one minute, add chopped green onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
Step 2. Add green beans and carrots
Add chopped green beans and carrots. Cover with a lid. Add salt and black pepper after 2-3 min for faster cooking.
Step 3. Add Frozen Corns
While the carrots are being cooked, take 1 tablespoon of corn and blend them with water to make a paste. Add the frozen corn kernels and the corn paste and cook on a slow flame for 3-4 min. Add water and boil for 2 min on a slow flame. In the meantime, add 1 tablespoon water slowly to cornstarch and mix well.
Step 3. Add Cornstarch slurry
Add cornstarch slurry to the soup. The soup will slowly start thickening up. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 4. Serve It
Serve your delicious sweet corn soup!
Expert Tips
