Sweet Corn Soup – In Praise Of Hitting Repeat

Following random people on social media can quickly convince one that everyone’s life is better than mine! Hmmm, one such adventurous day on Instagram…I came across, friend’s friend’s skiing trip to Canada, trekking in Guatamala…and much more! Impulsively, I started looking for my own flight tickets to all these unknown places and started imagining all the new adventures that I could possibly experience on my couch. Positively, I even ordered all the travel gears that I may need on amazon.
Then, switched on the TV…went on to microwave my dinner…turned into my comfy pjs and started looking for my favorite comforter. Do you see the pattern? “Monotony”. And, I am really not ashamed to admit that my life is much more boring than everybody else I know!
After all…repetition is a novel experience too; when done with proper emotion. Well…in my opinion…there is a tremendous joy in repetition too. The human mind wanders and strays a lot and consequently, comes back and misses something substantially in every new experience! Sometimes, going back in time to repeat the same filter coffee, childhood candies…is nothing but a “Repeat” after a period of gap – is yet another new novel experience. Like a time-capsule preserve, it’s fascinating.
So, no matter what..where…how…I tend to always come back to this sweet corn soup. I have prepared and dined a variety of soups. But, there is something about this Sweet Corn Soup…that’s why, repetition becomes fun. A countless number of times — The soup by itself is always the same, however…the sensual pleasure I undergo the each time is beyond words.
Here you go my take on “Repeat” sorry sorry…”Sweet Corn Soup” for you all.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 ears sweet corn, shredded
- 2 Tsp sweet corn, kernels (crushed)
- 1 small carrot, cut into tiny pieces
- 5-7 string beans, cut into tiny pieces
- 1/4 cup cabbage, shredded
- 1-2 green onions, sliced thinly
- salt to taste
- pinch of MSG
- pinch of sugar
- 1 cap full of vinegar
- 1 cap full of green chili sauce
- 1 tsp pepper powder
- 2 Tsp corn starch
- 2 tsp warm milk
- 1 can vegetable stock
- 1 cube butter
Method
In a wide pot, Add a cube of butter and saute veggies. Then add all the ingredients to it(except corn starch) and bring this to boil. Then, mix corn starch with warm milk and prepare a paste. Add this to the soup and mix through. Do not over-boil and make the vegetables go soggy. When the vegetables are barely done, remove from heat. Serve up warm as a starter.
Variation Add chicken pieces, chicken stock and egg whites for Sweet Corn Chicken Soup
