Healthy Bi-Colour Corn Vegetable Soup

Have you ever used Bi-colour corn in your cooking?
It has 80% yellow and 20% white kernels. 
 It's not anything new but after searching for the health benefits of corn, 
it's known that cooking the corn will retain it's antioxidant activity
despite the loss of Vitamin C.
Plus, cooked corn has significant antioxidant activity 
which has been suggested to reduce the chance of heart disease and cancer. (Wikipedia)
I hope it's true =)


The healthy oil-less vegetarian soup!
I love the colour combination!


We ate it with rice alone without seasoning, 
to taste the original sweetness of the combined vegetables.

My man is down with fever, flu and cough,
I hope this nutritious soup will help him to recover real soon!

  1. Hi Coraine,

    Next time chop up the corn into smaller pieces about 5-6 pieces and cooked with chicken.
    By chopping into smaller pieces, the juice and sweetnes will sip easier into the soup.
    Adding chicken is esp good for your man when he's down with cold.
