I tend to come up with weird recipes these days. Crispy tempeh with corn soup? Really? Besides sandwiches, salads and porridges, I often find it a challenge to whip up an easy lunch for just myself while taking into consideration the fat and calorie content. Soups are probably my next best bet. I would have gladly used crispy bacon to proteinise my corn soup but I’m so into tempeh now that they could easily replace any meat craving of mine. For a good corn soup, do buy corns of a better grade. I bought mine from the vegetable stall in the market at about $2 each which the vegetable seller highly recommended. These corns are really sweet and juicy!
