Easy Sweet Corn Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cauliflower florets (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (frozen or canned)
• 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
• 1 carrot, finely chopped
• 1 cup green beans, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced ginger
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 cups water or vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon oil
• Chopped spring onion greens, for garnish
  

Method:

• Boil the cauliflower for 10-12 mins or till soft . Once cooked, blend the cauliflower florets into a smooth puree using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
• Heat oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat. Add chilies (if using), ginger, and garlic. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
• Add the chopped carrots and green beans to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly softened.
• Add the sweet corn kernels and creamed corn to the pot and stir to combine.
• Pour in the cauliflower puree and gradually add water or stock until the desired consistency is reached. Aim for a slightly thick soup, as it will thicken further as it cools.
• Season the soup with soy sauce, white vinegar, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
• Garnish with chopped spring onion greens and serve hot. Enjoy this quick and comforting soup!
