The beauty of this soup recipe, in addition to its few ingredients and wonderful mix of sweet and spicy flavors, is the ease of preparation. The handful of ingredient don't take much preparation. The corn is frozen and does not need to be pre-thawed (is will thaw as the soup heats). So the entire recipe can be whipped up in a flash!
