Japanese cream corn soup base
You can use any corn (canned, frozen, fresh) but for this tutorial I will use a 15-16 oz can of whole sweet corn
Blend in the Vitamix a can of corn and 1 cup of water. Vitamix is great because it really purees everything into a smooth liquid and you can retain the corn's fiber without having to filter it
- Heat the puree in a pot that is big enough to contain this and other ingredients that you will be adding
- Heat the puree on medium heat, stirring occassionally and waiting for it to thicken
- Heating corn and water alone really draws out the corn flavor out
- On a skillet (I like cast iron), make roux of 1 tbspn butter + 1 tbspn white flour and mix until blonde
- Add the roux to the corn puree and continue to stir until thickening
- Add a bit of salt, sugar, and black pepper to taste
- The soup is done, and you can add meat, potatoes, and other stuff you want.
