Mexican Street Corn Soup
Mexican Street Corn is delicious but sometimes cumbersome to make. This soup is easy to stir together and brings those delicious flavors into a warm savory dish.
For some people corn can cause an inflammatory response. If you have done an elimination diet and do not see any effects of including corn in your diet, I hope you will enjoy this recipe. (If you struggle with inflammation and haven’t considered corn as a possible trigger food, you may want to eliminate it in all forms for a month and see if there is any improvement.)
