CORN SOUP

Corn has always been my favorite.I used to love the grilled corn that they used to sell in Marina beach ,Chennai.But when my amma got cancer and started reading about that deadly disease I found grilling using coal (charred things) was one among the reasons apart from many other reasons.So from then I started loving steamed corn ...that too tastes good... but still ..to be very frank  it cant match grilled one :D

Anyway...anything made out of corn(vegetarian) ...i will love it...Corn soup is one among the few soups that I love.
