½ small red onion, halved
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Creamy Corn Soup
Serves: 6
6 fresh corn cobs, husks removed
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 potatoes (500g), peeled, chopped
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
Chopped parsley, to garnish

both kernels and cobs.
2. Heat oil in a large saucepan; add onion,
celery, carrot and garlic. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until brown.
3. Add potatoes, stock, water, kernels and
cobs to the same pan; bring to the boil,
reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for

tender.
4. Remove from heat; cool to room
temperature. Remove and discard corn
cobs.

Tip: You can use vegetable stock instead of
chicken stock if you would like this recipe to
be vegetarian.
