Sweet Corn Soup

Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet corn (half blended, half whole)
• 1 carrot, finely diced
• 1/2 cup beans and cabbage, finely diced
• 3 tbsp cornflour
• 5 cups stock or water
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tbsp butter
• Spring onion

Method

1. Blend half the corn with a little water into a rough puree. The other half stays whole — you want both textures.
2. Butter in a pot, the diced vegetables for 3 minutes.
3. Stock, corn puree, whole corn, sugar and salt. Boil 6 minutes.
4. Cornflour whisked into cold water, then stirred in slowly until it thickens and turns glossy.
5. White pepper — not black, it matters for the taste.
6. Spring onion. Vinegar and chilli sauce on the table.
