Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet corn kernels
• 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 medium (finely chopped) carrot
• 1 stalk (finely chopped) celery
• 0.5 cup low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 1 tablespoon (finely chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 2

Add the sweet corn kernels to the pot and stir well to combine with the vegetables.

Step 3

Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Once the soup has simmered, carefully transfer half of the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, then return the blended portion back to the pot. Alternatively, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup directly in the pot, leaving some corn and vegetables intact for texture.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the low-fat milk until completely dissolved and smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup while stirring continuously.

Step 6

Simmer the soup for an additional 5–7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat sweet corn soup!
