Corn soup with chilli and spring onions



Corn soup with chilli and spring onions

Ingredients

250 gms of Corn

1 or 2 red chopped chillies (They can be dry and shredded too)

1 small onion, chopped into small pieces

4-5 tablespoons of oil (preferably olive or sunflower)

1/2 a cup of chopped spring onions
1 cup of evaporated milk

Salt as needed

Procedure

1. Cook the Corn in one litre of water till they are soft. If you are using a pressure cooker, wait for atleast 2 releases. (You can add salt to the Corn, when you cook them.) 

2. Heat the oil in a large pan. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion, half of the chopped chillies and half of the chopped spring onions. Fry them until they become a little soft.

3. Add the cooked corn along with the excess water if any to the soft mixture, stir and cook till the mixture is equally distributed.
4. Add evaporated milk to the mixture and stir it well.

5. Add the rest of the chopped chillies and the rest of the chopped onions.
6. Stir (Simmer) the mixture for a couple of minutes.

7. Serves 4 persons.

Options

1. You can serve the soup as it is.

2. You can add milk or yoghurt or even cream to the mixture to make it more soft and tasty, before you serve it.

3. You can use chopped garlic instead of chopped onion if you want. (Usually chopped garlic and chopped onion together don't give a good taste)

4. You can add shredded carrots as a topping before you serve.
