- 1/2 medium onion
Other Ingredients & Seasonings
- 500-600ml milk (adjust to your preference)
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 10-20g butter (approx. 1 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp condensed milk (optional, for added sweetness and richness)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Croutons for garnish
- 500-600ml milk (adjust to your preference)
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 10-20g butter (approx. 1 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp condensed milk (optional, for added sweetness and richness)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Croutons for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully remove the kernels from the 3 ears of steamed corn using a knife or fork. Scrape off all the kernels, even those close to the cob, for a richer flavor.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the half onion. Melt the butter (10-20g) in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté slowly over low heat until translucent and lightly golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. This caramelization enhances the sweetness and deepens the soup’s flavor. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed onion, corn kernels, and 500-600ml of milk. You can adjust the milk quantity to achieve your desired soup consistency; start with 500ml and add more if needed. Blend until all ingredients are smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the blended mixture into a pot. Add the slice of cheddar cheese and 1 tbsp of condensed milk (if using). Place the pot over low heat and stir continuously as it begins to simmer. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup has thickened to your liking. Season with salt to taste, considering the saltiness of the cheese.
Step 5
Carefully ladle the finished corn soup into serving bowls. For an extra touch of aroma, sprinkle a little freshly ground black pepper over the top.
Step 6
Finally, garnish with crunchy croutons for added texture and a more satisfying meal. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
