Sweet corn soup


"Between soup and love, the first is better"

 
To stay warm, lose a few inches or up your vegetable intake, whatever your reasons may be,  a steaming hot bowl of soup is always welcomed.




Its easy to fix, steam the corn, grind it, sieve it, add water, vegetables, season it and slurp... slurp... slurp !

Garlic                           2-3 cloves
