A typically Mexican Sweet Corn and Capsicum Soup, this has a distinct smoky flavour. Soft, yellow sweet corn tastes great just raw, so it naturally adds great value to this soup too.

Roasting capsicum on a direct flame imparts a unique flavour and taste to this soup. So, follow the exact procedure to whip up this scrumptious soup and I assure you a delightful experience.

A bowl of Sweet Corn and Capsicum Soup followed by a Burrito and serving of French-Casserole makes a satiating meal.
