Monsoons are in full swing in Mumbai . What is better than to hold a hot bowl of soup in your hands & watch rains lashing down the windowpanes . A sip of piping hot soup will not only soothe your body but remind you that monsoon has arrived to give you relief from the scrooching summer heat . And believe me that feeling is just out of this world .....

Monsoon is my favorite season . Here is one such special recipe befitting the rainy season . Fresh corn is amply available during Monsoons . There are vendors selling "Butta" , roasted corn topped with Indian spices . At homes , Butte ke keese , sweet corn soup , corn parathas, corn bhajiyas , grilled corn sandwiches , baked corn , corn curries ( to name a few ) adorn the dining tables . But amongst all the corn dishes , sweet corn soup is my favorite.

I love to sit on the couch with my favorite book & a soup bowl in my hand , slowly sipping the hot soup whilst turning the pages & off & on my eyes would fall on the windowpanes to watch the down pour .

Drinking sweet corn soup not only helps in maintaining insulin levels but is a good source of fiber, helps in digestion & weight management.
