Add the cream and remaining 50g sweetcorn then mix 30 seconds/reverse/speed 2.
Divide between serving bowls, sprinkle with pepper then serve immediately.
Notes
I don’t tend to buy tins of sweetcorn as I’ve usually got a bag of frozen in the freezer, so for this soup I use frozen corn and defrost it in a bowl of hot tap water.
Cookidoo Tips
This colourful chowder is a comforting soup suitable for vegetarians. The spice adds a kick which complements the sweet flavours, although it can be omitted if you’re cooking for children.
It also freezes well, so is a great make-ahead lunch option.
