In a gloomy, rainy day when it is raining cats and dogs, what can be more comforting than a bowl of hot soup? This is Thanksgiving week. My employer is very generous to give the whole week off. Despite the fact that I am spending a lot of time in the couch this week, I got really motivated to make the sweet corn soup and to serve it for lunch.
My kitchen has many of the modern gadgets, including an Instant Pot. I like to cook the soup in the Instant Pot. So here is simple recipe for sweet corn soup with egg drop using Instant pot.
