Corn Soup

A simple soup that can be made in a jiffy is my third day entry for Srivalli's blogging marathon - 9th edition. And according to my husband, tastes fabulous with a blob of ketchup. :)

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Olive oil / Butter
1 Garlic clove, finely minced
1 Small Onion, finely minced (optional)
1 Tbsp Corn flour / Wheat flour / All purpose flour
1/2 cup Corn kernels + 2 - 3 Tbsp for garnish (I thawed the frozen ones and used. If using fresh ones, cook them.)
1 cup Vegetable stock / Water
1 cup Milk (I used fatfree milk.)
Salt and pepper

Method:
* Heat oil / butter in a pan and fry garlic until golden brown. Next add onion and fry until translucent.
* Add the flour and saute for a couple of minutes.Then add the stock and stir vigorously to avoid any lumps forming.
* Next puree the corn kernels. Add this puree and milk to the stock mixture and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for a couple of minutes more and turn off the stove.
* Garnish with salt, pepper and the remaining corn kernels.
