This soup can be made with very few easily available ingredients at home. Let's see what goes into this corn soup.
Corn: You can either use fresh sweetcorn or frozen sweet corns. If you want to use tinned variety you can use cream of sweet corn combined with whole kernels.
Carrots: carrots are rich in vitamins and minerals. These add a nice texture and colour in the soup.
Peas: Fresh peas add a nice creamy and sweet taste to the soup.
Flavor: I use soy sauce and season it with salt and pepper.

Scallions/green onions: green stem part of the spring onions add a delicious pungent flavour to this soup.
Cornstarch is added for thick and creamy texture.
