Instructions
- Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
- Finely chop the carrots and green beans. Chop the scallions, separating the white and green parts.
- Mince the ginger and garlic.
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. This blooms the aromatics and enhances their flavor.
- Add the white parts of the scallions, chopped carrots, green beans, green peas, and corn kernels to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables slightly soften.
- Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 3-4 tablespoons of water until smooth. This creates a slurry that will thicken the soup.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering soup, stirring constantly. Continue to cook for a few minutes, or until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.
- Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add the green parts of the scallions for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
- Ladle the sweet corn soup into bowls and serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra creaminess and a richer texture, blend half of the boiled corn kernels into a coarse puree and add it back to the soup along with the whole kernels.
- If you prefer a vegan version, use vegetable stock instead of water for a deeper flavor, and garnish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for a subtle nutty aroma.
- To add a gentle heat and authentic Indo-Chinese flair, stir in a splash of green chili sauce or a pinch of white pepper just before serving.
- Leftovers can be chilled and reheated, but the soup may thicken as it sits; simply whisk in a little hot water or vegetable stock while reheating to restore the desired consistency.
Expert Tips
- For a smoky flavor, try grilling the corn kernels before adding them to the soup.
- Customize the soup with your favorite vegetables. Diced carrots, bell peppers, or chopped spinach would be delicious additions.
- If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) towards the end of the cooking process.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
