.
Notes by Foodeva Marsay:
~ Add a small grated Potato, if you prefer, at the sautéing stage.
~ Fresh Cream may also be used, instead of Evaporated milk. Use just 1/4 Cup, or lesson Fresh Cream, As the creaminess of the sweetcorn should still come through in the soup, and not be overpowered by fresh cream taste.
