Sweet Corn Soup , an healthy and easy to make soup from sweet corn and other vegetables. As grew up in Tamilnadu, we didn't have the habit of having soup in our homes and Amma never made any soup to my knowledge. 

After i moved to chennai for my job, i got introduced to a lot of soup from various restaurant. Out of all the soups, this sweet corn soup was my favourite, as i don't like spicy food back then, this soup suits to my taste and all other soup which i had tasted was like diluted version of kuzhambu(curry) 😞 .Though i like this soup very much, haven't try it on own for so long. ST also not fond of this soup, basically he don't like any food which has mild sweet taste in it,that may be the reason that i don't  make them frequently. 

As sweet corn is so cheep nowadays in the grocery store, i picked  a lot out of anxious and i got bored having them as steamed or grilled, so last week end i prepared this along with some garlic toast and it tastes absolutely divine.Enough with the stories, now move on to the recipe.
