Corn is still in season and I wanted to feature it in a dish since I love it so much. I picked up 4 ears for $1.00, what a fresh bargain. I eat it raw right of the cob sometimes. I also love curries these days. I remember when that was not the case, boy was I missing out. Oh well, here I am today a new person with new tastes and couldn't be any happier! This was an excellent dish. The sweet corn, spice from the red pepper flakes & curry powder while the coconut wraps it all up making this a fine dish I will come back to again and again. I would consider this a lightly cooked meal, the veggies, except onion, garlic & spinach, are crispy and close to fresh. It's also an easy dish to put together from start to finish...ready to eat in about 30 minutes. You don't have to use all these veggies either...I added the celery and mushrooms I had on hand just to use up. Five hearts for this soup!
