With corn being readily available all over the country and rain falling almost every day, what better recipe to try than corn soup. You can try it the old fashioned way and grate a dried coconut to get it to taste like when Granny used to make it.

Or, you can take advantage of modern convenience and try ready-to-use alternatives. Either way, get ready for the best corn soup that you have ever made.
