Notes | FAQ
- If you like your soup thick and white in color, increase the quantity of corn flour. Corn flour is added to thicken the soup. The quantity I had added will give you a thin soup, since i like my soup thin.
- If you like your soup creamy, you can add 1 cup of milk instead of water.
- If you want a smooth soup, you can grind the corn and then add to the soup instead of adding the kernels directly. The Taste will be different but equally delicious.
- The bread croutons in the pictures are just to add color. They will not go well with this soup.
