tip

I always blitz half the corn with the hand blender to give a really creamy texture

If I use canned sweetcorn, how much should I add instead of the corn cobs?

I used 2 small tins (about 350g drained weight)

I don’t know whether I did anything wrong, but the amount of cream made it, in effect, soup, which isn’t what I was aiming for. I simmered it down to the preferred consistency. I will definitely make it again, but use much less cream.

If you blend half the corn with a hand blender it gives a much creamier texture

question

Once cooked can this be used in chicken sweetcorn soup? Would you put the cheese in.

Hi, thanks for your question. This should go well in a chicken sweetcorn soup. You can add the cheese or leave it out, according to taste. If you do use cheese then add it at the end of cooking the soup, just before serving. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
