How to Make Carrot, Potato, and Fresh Corn Soup
I like to cook and eat natural, healthy, and tasty foods, and I enjoy sharing recipes from my native Indian cuisine.
Carrot, Potato, and Fresh Corn Soup
Make Your Own Soup With Healthy Ingredients!
I like to have a soup at least 4-5 times a week. Each time, I prefer to sip a puree with different combinations. Here's a veggie soup recipe that I made to feed a craving I was having: I picked three healthy vegetables (carrots, potatoes, and fresh corn) to make this puree.
- Carrots are excellent sources of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K, anti oxidants, and potassium. They are crunchy, colorful, and delicious.
- Fresh corn adds a nutty flavor to the dish. This mildly sweet veggie is a favorite of many. Corn has many nutrients that are beneficial for humans.
- Potatoes give a nice creamy finish to this soup. They are known to contain high levels of vitamin C, and B 6, manganese, pantothenic acid, niacin, and phosphorous.
I pureed these veggies with fresh spices and herbs to make this delicious soup. Let me now share the step-by-step recipe with you.

- Transfer the mix to a mixer or blender. Grind to get a smooth puree.
- Pour this puree back to the same pan that you used earlier. Add 3 cups of water.
