Corn soup
Corn soup is a warm, comforting dish made primarily from sweet corn, often combined with ingredients like onions, garlic, broth, and cream or milk for added richness. It can be enjoyed as a smooth purée or with whole corn kernels for texture. Beyond its delicious, slightly sweet flavor, corn soup offers several health benefits. Corn is a good source of fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy gut. It's also rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, folate, and B vitamins, supporting immune function and energy production. Additionally, the antioxidants in corn, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, are beneficial for eye health. Whether served as a starter or a light meal, corn soup is both nourishing and satisfying.
