Creamy corn soup

This is a piece I wrote while I was still in Japan, jeez, time really flies! This is a recipe for corn soup and you're able to make it with just a couple of simple ingredients. The soup has no added sugar so you can feel a 100% good about it!:) have a great day everyone!

I tried making this soup again today and I found that it was really thick and I only had soup for about one person, so I suggest adding some more milk or a little bit more of the juice from the corn.


I promised I would update on a regular basis..and yes, I know I did the exact opposite but at least I have an update n
ow! since I'll be going back in just 2 months I wanted to know some of my hostfamily's delicious family recipes. This recipe for Corn soup is so simple yet so delicious! let's get started!

What you'll need:

- half an onion
- a few slices of bacon (you can add as much as you want)
- 1 can of corn (about 250~300 gram)
- 1 can of milk (just pour some milk into the corn can)
- olive oil
-Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Cut the onion in slices and the bacon in little cubes, Fry for about 5-10 minutes on medium to low heat to soften up the onions and bacon. Add the corn with a little of the juice from the can. Fill the corn can with milk and add this to the pan, let it sit over low to medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and get your hand-mixer ready. Mix the soup until smooth and sift so the soup doesn't have any lumps in it. enjoy!:)

A delicious and healthy summer cauliflower-soup!

Hey everyone! I've been super busy the past month with all my finals but I can finally say that they're all done and I'm finally graduating! I'm glad I have time again to upload recipes on this blog. This summer I hope to upload more and perhaps upload other content besides recipes! but first a great summer soup that is good hot or cold!

you're going to need:

- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 (preferably red) onions
- 1 cauliflower
- 250 ml of whipped cream
- 1 liter vegetable or chicken stock
- About 100-200 grams of diced ham

Instructions:

Put the butter with the 2 onions (sliced finely) into a big pot and fry for about 5 minutes on low-middle heat. Cut up the cauliflower into little dices, add these to the pot and stir. Next prepare your vegetable or chicken stock (I used 1 liter of water mixed with 2 stock cubes) and add this to the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste and get the mixture to a boil. Let it boil for about 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is soft and ready.

Add the cream to the pot and let the soup boil for another 5 minutes. Puree the mixture until nice and smooth and add the ham, let the ham heat up a little and you’re ready
to serve!

This is just a great recipe for summer, you can heat up the soup whenever you want to so you can make a lot in advance, sit back and relax. You can serve it with a salad or anything you like really. Hope everyone is having a great summer and until next time!:)
