Cream of Corn Cheese Soup

No need to turn to instant soup packets all the time. Here’s a quick one to warm you up.

Serves 4 
Prep and Cooking Time 15 minutes

1 cup corn kernels, drained
1 cup cream of corn
2 cups chicken stock or water
2 tablespoons cheese pimiento
1 cup cream

For the garnish
1 teaspoon spring onions,
      finely diced (optional)
nacho chips (optional)

1  Place corn kernels and cream of corn in a saucepan. Pour in stock and bring to a boil over high heat; let simmer.

2  Stir in the cheese pimiento until dissolved.

3  In a bowl, temper the cream by adding some of the hot liquid from the soup into it. Take this warmed mixture and stir it into the soup. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

4  Serve in individual cups and garnish with spring onions and nachos, if desired.

Tempering Tip: Tempering is the technique of adding a small amount of hot liquid into an ingredient to raise its temperature. In this case, it prevents the cream from curdling when added to the boiling soup.
