WOYP Day # 53 Spinach Corn Soup

We have had rainy, stormy days every now and then. Gloomy and cloud laden skies today, and plenty of rain. Though it is still warm outside, it felt like a Soup kind of day :) Spinach and Corn make a great combination in soup. This soup is light and is perfect with a sandwich to make a meal. 

Spinach Corn Soup: 
You will need: 

2 cups chopped Spinach
1/2 cup Yellow corn kernels (from a can, drained)
2 pods Garlic, finely chopped
2-2 1/2 cups water
1 tbsp Corn starch
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
2 tsp light Soy sauce
Salt to taste
1 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Oil

Heat oil in a saucepan. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned. Add the chopped spinach and corn. Cook for a minute until the spinach wilts but is still green, and then add water. Stir and then add the salt, pepper, soy sauce and sugar. Combine well and bring to a boil.Add little salt at a time, since the soy sauce is also salty.  Prepare a slurry of the corn starch using little water. Add to the boiling soup and stir. This will thicken the soup. Simmer and then turn off heat. Serve hot. 

That's it! A simple and heart warming soup for any season.
