Easy Sweet Corn Soup Recipe

Creamy sweet corn soup recipe- a vegan, vegetarian gluten free option without adding any corn starch.

I love corn in any form. I love it when its in salads, pastas, pizzas or actually anything.

While I grew up on sweet corn soup, this blended corn soup has been a recent discovery. By blending corn, you get this creamy soup with the taste reminiscent of sweet corn soup, without the need to add corn starch.

I have made this soup a couple of times now- the first time for a styling assignment for a brand. This time I wanted to try making the soup by roasting the corn in the husk first and then cooking and pureeing it. Unfortunately we could not find any corn in the husk, but if you do let me know how roasting the corn first and then following the recipe steps works for you.

Blending the corn gives a nice creamy thickness to the soup, and I have not felt the need to add any cream to it, even the original recipe had mentioned to add a cup of cream. You could though top the soup with a drizzle of cream or coconut milk, for a vegan version.

This corn soup is a great gluten free, vegan soup option and not that hands-on a recipe – so perfect for a weeknight meal option as well.
