Tips & Substitutions
For added depth of flavor, consider sautéing some garlic or onions with the oil before adding the wine. If you prefer a creamier soup, you can blend half of it and mix it back in. Feel free to substitute canned corn with fresh sweet corn when in season, or use frozen corn for convenience. This soup can be made vegan by omitting the egg white.
