How To Make sweetcorn soup with crab & homemade soured cream
-
1Heat a large frying pan until medium hot. Add the butter, shallot and curry powder and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until just softened.
-
2Add the sweetcorn and then pour in the wine and enough water to just cover.
-
3Bring to a simmer, add half of the cream and then season with salt and black pepper.
-
4Bring the mixture back to the boil, remove from the heat to cool slightly and then transfer to a blender. Bend until very smooth and light, for a good 5 mins then return the soup to the pan to heat though.
-
5Make some soured cream by whisking the remaining cream with the lemon juice until thickened. It takes a while but is well worth it!
-
6Ladle the soup into a serving bowl and then sprinkle with a little of the crab and add a spoonful of the now firm soured cream in the middle.
-
7Enjoy how wonderfully light, tasty and warming this soup is!
