Corn cream soup with ginger, cream, and popcorn is a refined dish of American cuisine that combines the sweetness of corn with the spicy aroma of ginger and the richness of cream. Its roots trace back to the culinary traditions of the New World, where corn is a staple ingredient. The soup has a delicate velvety texture, while popcorn adds an unexpected crunch, turning it into a gastronomic surprise. Curry imparts subtle Eastern notes, and thyme complements the overall harmony of flavors. It is an ideal option for a cozy lunch or dinner, warming with its aroma and exquisite taste. Serving it with herbs and popcorn transforms it into a true work of art. The delightful balance of sweet and spicy makes this soup unique in its kind, revealing new facets of familiar ingredients.

Cut the carrot and ginger into small cubes. Slice the onion into half rings. Mince the garlic. Don't be too precise, as all these vegetables will go into the blender later. Meanwhile, place the chopped vegetables in a pot with heated sunflower oil, add a tablespoon of curry (the curry flavor in this soup shouldn't be pronounced; we only need hints of clove, turmeric, red pepper, and cinnamon) and sauté for two to five minutes, stirring, until a strong curry aroma emerges.
