    Folks you'll be amazed at just how full of flavour this straightforward 30-minute sweetcorn soup really is.

    If you're looking for a recipe detailing how to make sweetcorn soup? Then look no further!

    This frozen sweetcorn soup recipe proves that it's perfectly possible to make delicious and healthy meals using minimal ingredients. Especially low cost budget ingredients like frozen sweetcorn.

    My creamy sweetcorn chowder recipe is one such popular recipe made with frozen sweetcorn too!

    I love to make tasty low cost meals. Ones that can be made in relatively little time.

    This unfussy soup recipe can be made in just 30 minutes!

    When I was creating this sweetcorn soup recipe I did wonder if it was too early for soup recipes.

    I mean we're not quite at the end of summer yet here in Scotland. The temperature is still in double digits too.

    But then again I eat soup all year round. It's a great way to help me stay in a healthy weight range.

    I always have batches of frozen soup, like this sweetcorn soup in the freezer.

    It's great for when you're short on time. Plus it's really filling too.

    One bowl of delicious creamy 30-minute sweetcorn soup sits ready to eat with a spoon in it. Alongside is a small dish of sweetcorn to garnish and a loaf of sliced multigrain bread on a bread board.

    It's also delicious budget soups like this 30-minute sweetcorn soup recipe that help my other half and I save our pennies.

    Having a tight control of your food budget means your money can be spent elsewhere.

    We'd far rather spend our money on great holidays and an active lifestyle instead of material stuff that we consider we just don't need.

    But, watching what you spend on your food budget doesn't mean you don't eat well. Indeed I've proved that here with this soup recipe made from frozen sweetcorn.

    This frozen corn soup provides you with a quarter of your daily protein and fibre requirements as well as being an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.

    So you see, you're still eating well and healthily. As well as cooking from scratch, using less ingredients!

    The only other things added to this soup are garlic which helps to give it its unique flavour. And soft cheese for its amazing creamy texture.

      Neil, I'm with you when it comes to eating soup. I eat it year-round but find a soup such as your sweetcorn soup to taste best on a cool autumn day when the leaves are falling. Since that's what it like here, I think this dish will tuck-in just fine in the coming days.

      I do love a good soup, but in the colder months, they do seem to taste just a little bit better. Never made a corn chowder before, but it looks very tempting!

        Thanks Matt. I agree soup does taste best in colder months. But I still eat it all year round anyway. Ha ha. I guess I've just got into a habit of doing that to keep my weight at a consistent level. Thanks for your comment!

      Soup season has definitely arrived here in New York! It was quite chilly this morning, and I'm debating switching over to long pants and long sleeve shirts. Speaking of chilly, I would love a bowl of this soup for lunch or dinner today. It sounds delicious! And great idea to serve it with a nice toasted piece of multigrain bread. Yum!!

        Ah the days of wearing shorts here have gone David. Even indoors it's too cold. Although I did go out for a walk this afternoon and it was quite warm but breezy. I think I'll wait until next summer though! Thanks for commenting. Yes this soup is absolutely delicious especially with a piece of that multigrain bread.

        I know what you mean about being in full-on Autumn mode now Laura, I actually had my heating on briefly yesterday! Oh well at least we can eat plenty of bowls of this soup over the next few months to keep warm! Thanks for taking the time to comment and hope that you are well!

        No I can imagine that sweetcorn cobs done on the BBQ would be more appropriate for you there in Australia at the moment Sherry! Still you can save this for when it does turn to winter there. 🙂
