About Corn Soup
Chris De La Rosa’s Trinidad corn soup follows a substantial street-food style associated with after-fete eating. This version combines corn on the cob, split peas, vegetables and small flour dumplings.
Shado beni, chives, thyme, parsley and garlic supply an herbal base, with Scotch bonnet adding heat. Coconut milk and creamed corn enrich the vegetable stock.
Potatoes, sweet potato and pumpkin soften into the thick soup. Pieces of corn and rolled dumplings remain distinct within its creamy body, giving the bowl contrasting textures.
