delicious, quick, low fat vegetarian take on Asian sweet corn and crab soup. Perfect work night dinner with vegetables. Fish sauce adds a great sublte umami flavor but you can substitute tamari, Braggs, or another savory salty flavoring. Optional garnish is finely diced sharp cheddar cheese.

Time 30m

Yield 6 cups soup, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups corn (frozen or fresh)
4 -5 cups water
1 low-sodium chicken bouillon cube
1 cup 1% low-fat milk (or fat free)
3/4 cup firm tofu, diced
2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)
3 tablespoons dried shiitake mushrooms (ground into a powder or diced finely)
3 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic, (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Combine corn, water, bouillon, mushrooms, and garlic in large pot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • 2. Blend approximately two-thirds of soup to create creamy texture. Cook on medium for 10 minutes (or more) so soup is simmering/at a low boil.
  • 3. Add sugar and fish sauce, stir, let cook several minutes and then taste. FIsh sauce will add a wonderful umami flavor and meld with the other flavors.
  • 4. Measure out cornstarch, add a small amount of milk, stirring until makes a smooth paste. Pour rest of milk into paste, stir and add to soup. Add diced tofu. Add black pepper to taste. Bring soup to a boil for 1 minute and serve.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover corn. It's also a great meal for a cold night. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect comfort food.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The soup was bland and the corn was mushy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
