Corn Soup
Homemade Japanese Corn Soup Recipe for Family
Japanese kids' meals often feature a delightful cup of corn soup – a creamy, sweet, and comforting dish that captures the essence of childhood.
As someone who cherished this soup during my own youth, I've found immense joy in recreating it for my family. After my kids experienced the wonders of Japanese dining, they returned home with one specific request – homemade corn soup!
Today, I'm excited to share my simple yet delicious recipe that captures the authentic flavors of this beloved Japanese dish.
RECIPE
Servings: 3-4
Time: 15 min
Ingredients:
1/2 onion
salt
2 tbsp butter
1 can corn
1 cup milk
black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Start by finely chopping half an onion.
In a pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and aromatic.
Add a can of corn to the pot.
Enhance the umami profile of your corn soup by adding a consomme cube.
Pour in one cup of milk to achieve the creamy consistency that makes Japanese corn soup so irresistible. Allow the soup to simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
To add a hint of warmth and depth, season your corn soup with black pepper.
Arrangement Ideas
. Creamy Variation: For those who enjoy an even smoother texture in their corn soup, consider blending the ingredients using a blender. This method creates an irresistibly creamy soup that lingers on the palate. Personally, I often opt for the non-blended version to save time, maintaining the soup's heartiness without compromising on flavor.
2. Perfect Pairing with Rice: In our household, we've discovered that enjoying corn soup with a side of rice creates a harmonious and satisfying meal. The subtle sweetness of the soup complements the grains, resulting in a comforting and balanced dining experience. Feel free to explore different combinations to discover your own preferred pairing – the possibilities are endless!
3. Bread Bowl Extravaganza: For a creative twist, serve your corn soup in a hollowed-out bread bowl. Not only does this add a playful element to your presentation, but the combination of the soup and the bread's crust creates a delightful contrast in textures.
