Now without any further impede, let’s get into cooking Sweet Corn Soup

Tips:
These are the things I have found out with my experiments with food. I hope this will help you out too!
- Use fresh whole sweet corn to enhance the sweetness and taste of the soup. On using the same, kernels can be obtained by applying force with your thumb in the upward direction, away from the kernel direction.
- Add a spoon of chilli viniger to add a tinge of sourness with spice
- If the sweetness is less, add a dollop of honey into the soup in the final stage.
- I normally use the rice stock that’s obtained after boiling rice. This gives the best taste and texture. If this is not available then mix a portion of rice starch powder to water and make the batch.
