A Tasty
Corn Soup

As it can be expected, the protagonist of this dish is the corn, that forms part of the daily diet of the Mexicans. In Mexico it doesn’t matter where you eat or what you eat – one always knows that sooner or later, directly or indirectly, one way or another you will be eating corn.


This soup is different because it has a dairy touch without becoming a cream. And the beauty can be found in each bite while feeling the milk’s creaminess with the crunch of the corn. You will also find the corn’s sweetness combined with the fresh point of the coriander, that is also used in the soup. It is a perfect seasoning that you cannot miss.

– The corn soup is ideal for the kids because they love its creaminess and the sweet flavor, that is always present.
