How to make Corn Soup with Quail Eggs
If using corn in a cob, remove the husk and silk. Trim the top end. Place the trimmed end of the corn cob on the inverted smaller bowl inside the large bowl or use a baking tray to contain the kernel corn. Hold the stem end of corn cob, use a sharp knife, then cut downward, as close to the base.
For the cream-style corn, scrape it with a serrated knife. Save the cob to boil with the soup for a flavourful corn soup.
You can use whole kernel corn in can and drain the water, however cream-style corn is more ideal for a more creamy and flavourful corn soup.
