  It was a delicious soup, my son loved it. You need to add a bit more water to it, otherwise you can't sieve the soup.

  This soup really wasn't very nice :( The cornbread was good though, although it perhaps could have done with a touch of salt!!

  This was the first time I had ever made sweetcorn soup, and the first time I've ever tasted it. Really enjoyed it. Didn't make the cornbread as I didn't have the polenta and also had to add a little more water than directed to the soup.

  Delicious and tasty, I used fresh red chilli instead and butter instead of olive oil. I added bacon to garnish. Yummy. Didn't make the Cornbread but that is one of my planned dishes anyway.

  I used a can of Green Giant Sweetcorn the only Sweetcorn I used which worked very well plus fresh red chilli with seeds in. Ground Coriander and chilli gave a nice spicy kick and I used butter which I prefer to olive oil. I think the recipe would be helped by specifying say 340g of Sweetcorn as I did as not everyone would use fresh though that is a good idea. A delicious recipe definitely one to make again.

  No Liquid measured specified. I ended up using over a pint of Chicken Stock from a Kallo Cube.

  I made this soup on its own and its delish! I didn't bother sieving it for obvious reasons (life is too short to sieve soup!!)

  Lovely soup...not very chilli-ish though, maybe need to add more in the cooking process of garnish with thinly sliced chilli? I wasn't sure what the weight measurement was if using frozen or canned sweetcorn..anyone any ideas?

  I love this soup, made it a couple of times and each time tastes amazing! I use a whole chilli with seeds and find it has the perfect amount of heat to compliment the 'sweet' sweetcorn. The sweetcorn quantity is a 'corn on the cob' size. Made the corn beard too which was yummy!

  The soup is gorgeous, I add a little smoked paprika and cumin. It's got a lovely kick. I haven't tried the cornbread but the soup alone is great.
