Curried Sweetcorn Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, curry powder and tomato paste and saute to toast the curry powder and warm the tomato paste, about 2 minutes. Add corncobs, half the corn kernels, chicken stock, coconut milk, tamarind paste, brown sugar and salt. Stir to combine, bring to a low boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove cobs and discard. Transfer, in batches, to a blender and blend until completely smooth. (See Cook's Note.)
• Return soup to the pot and bring back to a low simmer. Add shrimp, lime juice and remaining corn. Simmer until shrimp is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and Fresno chile and serve.

Steps:

• If you're using fresh corn, wash the cobs and remove the kernels with a sharp knife or cleaver. Put in a bowl and set aside - you should end up with about 280g.
• Mix the chicken shreds with the egg white, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sesame oil and 1 tsp cornflour in a small bowl and chill for 15 mins. Beat the whole egg and remaining sesame oil together in another small bowl and set aside.
• Bring the stock to a simmer in a large pan, add the sweetcorn and simmer for 10 mins, uncovered. Meanwhile, bring a small pan of water to the boil. Turn off the heat and quickly blanch the chicken shreds until they just turn white - about 20 secs. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
• Add the Shaohsing rice wine to the stock with the curry powder, 1 tsp salt, the sugar and the remaining cornflour pre-mixed with 2 tsp water. Bring it back to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for another 5 mins.
• Add the blanched chicken shreds, then add the egg and sesame oil mixture in a very slow, thin stream. Using a chopstick or fork, pull the egg slowly into strands.
• Ladle into a large bowl, garnish with the spring onions and serve straight away.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leeks, celery and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add the ginger, garlic, thyme, curry powder and potato. Cook, stirring, until the potato is coated in the spices, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 2 cups water and the sugar and bring to a boil. Add the corn, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Add the heavy cream and continue cooking until warmed through, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth; return to the pot. Season with salt. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan and reheat if needed. Serve with toppings.

Steps:

• Heat the rapeseed oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for 8-10 mins until soft. Add the garlic cloves, red or green chilli, carrot and celery. Cook for 2 mins, then add the ground turmeric, mild or medium curry paste, chicken or vegetable stock cube and lentils. After 30 secs, pour in the coconut milk and 800ml boiling water. Cover and simmer for 15 mins. Add the sweetcorn, cover and cook for 3 mins. Leave the soup chunky or part-blend. Season to taste. Top with a halved soft-boiled egg, coriander leaves and green chilli slices.

Steps:

• Chop the onion, and soften it in the butter with the curry powder.
• When the onion is soft, remove the pan from the heat. Toss in the drained tuna and drained sweetcorn, and stir thoroughly.
• Dissolve the cornflour in a little of the milk, then add all of the milk and the cornflour-milk mixture to the contents of the saucepan. Beat rapidly with a wooden spoon.
• Return the pan to the heat, and bring to the boil, stirring constantly.
• When the sauce is bubbling and thickened, stir in the lemon juice and coriander/parsley, then season with salt and pepper.
• Serve hot, with rice or pasta or toast or baked potatoes.
