Creamy Whipped Corn Soup: A Heartwarming Family Recipe.
When I was a child, my mom used to prepare a delicious corn soup for me. It was incredibly creamy, savory, and had a subtle touch of sweetness. However, after my mom passed away, I longed to recreate that soup. I discovered that instant corn soup powder was available in Japan, so I gave it a try. Sadly, it just didn’t compare to the one my mom used to make, so I gave up on it for a while.

Many years later, I wanted my son to experience the same delightful soup. This time, I decided to make it from scratch using onions, canned corn, milk, and a secret ingredient: whipped cream. I also seasoned it with chicken bouillon and a dash of salt. The key to achieving that rich and silky texture is definitely the whipped cream. Heavy cream can be quite expensive nowadays, but I often opt for whipping cream from Trader Joe’s (as shown in pic #1). It costs around $1.38 and has a long shelf life, so I usually keep a few on hand. This versatile ingredient comes in handy for making soup, white sauce, strawberry shakes, baking bread, and more. To streamline my cooking process, I use an instant pot and a hand blender, making it incredibly easy.
The end result was a wonderfully creamy and delicious soup, with a gentle hint of sweetness that came naturally from the onions and corn. So, let’s dive into making this delightful dish!
Ingredients – Serving for 3-4 people
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 Can Corn
- 1/2 Onio
- 1 pack of Trader Joe's whipped cream or 240ml Heavy Cream
- 3 tsp Chicken Bouillon
- 1 tsp Salt
For those who don’t have an Instant Pot, I highly recommend getting one. There is now a variety of Instant Pots available, from the regular model to the more advanced ones with precise electrical setups. The Instant Pot is incredibly versatile, not only for making soup but also as a slow cooker and rice cooker. You simply dump in the ingredients, and the Instant Pot does the rest. You can set it up in the morning, and when you come home, your meal is ready to serve. For example, the cute Instant Pot Star Wars 6 Qt is currently priced at $99.99. I guarantee you won’t regret it.
