2

As the monsoon steps in you can feel the roasting of corncobs in the air. You find the vendors selling them each n every corner round the streets, increasing your cravings for them.I too can’t resist myself from using this wonderful ingredient in one or the other way
A soupy bowl from corns is a staple from my kitchen these days.This easy to make yet powerpacked soup is a great source of essential nutrients.Though the corns and carrots give it a little natural sweetness to it  yet this piping hot soup prevents u from monsoon ailments like cough and colds
For this soup I have used a blended puree of boiled corns as well as the kernels. Also finely chopped carrots add the colour, flavour and nutrition
