Sweet Corn Soup

Sweet corn soup is a good source of many nutrients. A medium-sized ear of corn has about 75 calories and one gram of fat. It supplies carbohydrates, protein, and potassium, and is a good source of dietary fiber. Other nutrients include thiamine (vitamin B1), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folate, dietary fiber, vitamin C, phosphorous, and manganese. Corn also contains beta-carotene, and is a useful source of protein.Carrots are an excellent source of antioxidant compounds, and the richest vegetable source of the pro-vitamin A carotenes.And cabbage increases production of enzymes involved in detoxification.Its one of my families favorite Soup.
