recipe for a classic Sweet Corn Soup

 Here's a recipe for a classic Sweet Corn Soup:

Yields: 4 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

 * 2 tablespoons butter or oil

 * 1 onion, chopped

 * 2 cloves garlic, minced

 * 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn kernels, drained

 * 1 cup vegetable broth

 * 1/4 cup milk

 * 1 tablespoon cornstarch

 * 1 tablespoon water

 * Salt and pepper to taste

 * Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions:

 * Sauté vegetables: Heat butter or oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

 * Add corn and broth: Stir in the corn kernels and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

 * Blend (optional): For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, or transfer to a blender and blend in batches.

 * Thicken the soup: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering soup, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly.

 * Add milk and simmer: Stir in the milk and simmer for 1-2 minutes more.

 * Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Tips:

 * For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.

 * Add a pinch of sugar to balance the sweetness of the corn.

 * You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers.

 * Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor.
