Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet corn
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, peas)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
- Add the mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, peas) and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they start to tenderize.
- Add the sweet corn and sauté for another 2 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Tips
- Choose fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor - frozen can work too, but fresh always tastes better!
- Sauté your vegetables in butter first to develop a deeper, richer flavor profile.
- Don't rush the simmering process - letting the soup cook slowly helps blend the flavors beautifully.
- For extra creaminess, you can blend a portion of the soup and mix it back in.
- Experiment with garnishes like fresh herbs, a dash of paprika, or a swirl of cream to elevate the presentation.
- If you want a protein boost, consider adding some tofu or cooked chicken to the soup.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator - the soup tastes even better the next day!
