5 Ingredient Creamy Corn Soup
In this week's fridge foraging I am showing you the creamiest corn soup out there that has absolutely no dairy in it. My favorite way to get creamy soup is actually to cook down the vegetables until they are basically falling apart and then blend. This method with make for a much creamier consistency than any cream or dairy will provide. My favorite part of this recipe is that it only takes 5 ingredients to get the creamiest, vegan, healthiest soup.
Enjoy!
