Recipe ( The Waknuk Star)

 If you are looking for some delightful soup to distract you from this stressful summer, here is the way to make your own! Today we come up with a menu with its main ingredient commonly grown in Waknuk, a corn. Yes, we are going to make a corn soup!

Thinking of pleasant smell coming from the soup and its delicious taste, it is such a hard thing to resist. Not just its taste and smell that make this menu appealing, you will also realize after all that the cooking process is very simple.

To start, just walk to your backyard and pick up few fresh and good-looking corns. Try to find those with yellowish color since they are mature and give the best taste.

A creative idea I would suggest is using two different-sized pots, one inside the other. By putting all the ingredients inside the small pot and placing it into a bigger one that is already filled with water, you can greatly reduce the amount of cooking time. The water in the big pot that covers the smaller pot will prevent heat from escaping out of the smaller pot (that contains our soup). Also, it is recommended to use a melting pot made from clay, as it will add a really nice smell to your soup.

Ingredients:

-         2/3 sweet corns

-         2 medium onions

-         3 tsp. olive oil or butter

-         1 tsp. salt

-         1 cup of water

-         2 small potatoes

Directions:

1.     Remove their kernels of the corn and scrape off remaining corny bits.

2.     Chop onions and potatoes.

3.     Put oil or butter into a small pot and place the entire thing inside a large pot. Add some water to the large pot and boil it over medium fire for three minutes.

4.     Bring the small pot out and remove the large pot. From now on, you will only be boiling the small pot.

5.     Add the onions and half-tablespoon of salt into the pot. Continue boiling it and stir until the onions wilt.

6.     Add the potatoes and water. Cook the soup until you notice that both potatoes and onions get soft. This process might take about ten minutes.

7.     Add the corn kernels and stir them for another two minutes before you finish.

8.     Carefully pour the soup into a bowl. Add salt and/or pepper to taste.
