Sweet Corn Soup


Today is a soup recipe that might be known to all of you.  With everyone having their own versions of the soup.  Here is my version of a sweet corn soup.  There are times when we just have soup and home-made bread for dinner along with some sides.  Namely hash-brown’s or baked potatoes.  Though not necessarily always.  Like this time it was just soup and this wonderful Manaqueesh.  And who would not like to have a hot soup on a rainy day.  So here’s the recipe for this simple but wonderful soup.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

 INGREDIENTS:
Sweet corn
1 cup
Onion
1 big
Salt
As per preference
Pepper
As needed
Butter
1 tbsp
Water
2 cups
 
METHOD:
1.         Boil the sweet corn in a cup of water for 10 minutes.  In the meanwhile, chop onions (cubes won’t matter as it will be sautéed in butter)
2.         Saute the onion in a tbsp of butter.  Grind the sautéed onions and ¼ of the corn in a mixer to a smooth paste.(the water used for boiling corn can be used to grind this mixture)
3.         In another pan, take the remaining half of the corn and add a cup of water.  Add the ground corn and onion mixture to it and bring it to a boil.
4.         Add salt and pepper to it as per preference.
5.         Serve hot

NOTES:
1.         Soup should not be too thick, so you can add more water if you find it too thick. 
2.         You could add just one pod of garlic and saute it along with the onions.

So there you go, this is my way of making this soup.  Go ahead, make it and enjoy it with this wonderful Manaqueesh, plain soup or any breads of your choice.
