Serving Suggestions

Note

• To remove kernels from corn cobs, hold cobs firmly in a vertical position on a board and slice down as close to the cob as you can get with a sharp knife. The kernels will come straight off.
• If you’re chilli eaters, feel free to add chilli powder or chopped chillies at the beginning to flavour the soup base.
