Sweet corn soup is a unique Indo-Chinese fusion soup, and one of my family’s favorite soups! Every Indo-Chinese cuisine restaurant worth their salt will carry this soup on it’s menu. Growing up I remember always ordering it whenever we went out for special occasions. But nowadays, thanks to availability of ingredients year around, we can make it whenever we like.

This soup is great as an appetizer and perfect for these cold winter days. It is also a great “pantry soup” to make! As we can make it using frozen or fresh or canned corn. And since I am in the mode of short cut cooking these days 🙂 I have gone the canned route. But if you have fresh or frozen corn, there is just one additional step involved. You keep aside 1/2 cup of corn and make a paste of it with 1/4 cup water in a blender. Then add to rest of corn and proceed with the rest of recipe the same way. You will find lot’s of recipes of this soup with just water. But I like using vegetable stock as in my opinion that lends a bit more robust flavor this soup. But hey, you do you!
