Sweetcorn soup (dairy free)

A variation on the New England deliciousness that is a corn chowder.

Ingredients:

1 onion (chopped)

1 red pepper (chopped)

2 medium potatoes (peeled and chopped onto small cubes)

2 medium carrots (same as above)

500g good quality sweetcorn (I use frozen)

1tin coconut milk

Chicken stock (I use 2 Knorr pots)

Method:

1. Fry onion on medium heat, then add all the chopped vegetables and fry for a few minutes. 
2. Add water, just so that all the vegetables are covered. Cook until veggies are tender.

3. Add coconut milk and blitz until smooth.

4. Season to taste.

I like to add a smoked fish into it at the end (after blitzing) and cook for further 10 minutes. If this is being done, swap chicken stock for a fish one and use only one pot. Otherwise you are risking the soup being too salty.

Serve with crispy warm bread.
