Fresh Sweet corn.....is used in various cuisines worldwide. Sweet corn is gluten free, low in calories and high in dietary fiber. It also has minerals and vitamins along with anti oxidants. And...if this soup is made this way, it turns to be not only a quick but healthy one too.

Notes
*Some people prefer to strain the soup, but all nutrition will be lost then.
*I preferred to serve this thick soup(if it is too thick, add some more milk ) and definitely the texture wasn't a silky, creamy one, but very healthy.
