Ingredients
Dairy & Thickener
- 1 1/2 cups Milk whole milk recommended for creaminess
- 3 tablespoons Corn Flour or all-purpose flour; helps thicken the soup
Seasoning & Spices
- 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Sugar granulated sugar; balances the savory flavors
- 7-10 Peppercorns freshly crushed black peppercorns
- 1 1/2 cups Water
Optional Garnish
- 1 tablespoon Butter for richness, optional
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese for serving, freshly grated, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Corn
- Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the frozen corn and simmer for 4 minutes, or until tender.
Make the Cornstarch Slurry
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch (or flour) and cold milk until smooth and lump-free.
Combine and Simmer
- Gently stir the basil leaves into the corn and milk mixture. Pour the mixture into the saucepan with the cooked corn.
Thicken the Soup
- Stir continuously with a ladle or whisk to prevent the cornstarch from clumping. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the soup has thickened to your desired consistency.
Season and Serve
- Stir in the crushed peppercorns, salt, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter before serving. Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional), and crusty garlic bread.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Sweet Corn and Basil Soup
- For extra creaminess: Use full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream in addition to or instead of cow's milk.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- Roast the corn: For a deeper, sweeter corn flavor, roast the corn kernels before adding them to the soup.
- Fresh is best: Using fresh basil makes a big difference in the flavor of this soup. If fresh basil is unavailable, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried basil.
