Sweet Corn Vegetable Soup

Sweet Corn Vegetable Soup is deliciously thick and creamy with a healthy dose of nutritious vegetables. This soup is equally enjoyed by children and adults. This soup can be easily prepared with either canned or fresh corn and vegetables which are always available.

Canned cream style corn helps to achieve the right consistency and flavor in the soup. It is good for children and invalids as you can refrain from adding spicy sauces and just relish the natural freshness of vegetables; especially the sweetness of the corn.
