Soup season is here! With the delayed rains making their presence felt across the country, the cold, dreary weather can only be uplifted with a bowl of hot soup. This season, skip the hot and sour or tomato
soup, and try something new. This corn soup is super easy to make and can be customised to your liking. Add a protein or hide extra vegetables from your kids to make a meal that is nutritious and will support your immune health in the monsoon. Serve it with toasty bread, a crusty sandwich, a salad or even noodles or pasta for a meal that will keep you and your family satiated.
