Tag: Sweet corn soup

Sweet corn has a low to moderate glycemic index (GI) of around 52-55, meaning it can be incorporated into a diabetic's diet without causing a rapid spike in blood sugar. However, when considering sweet corn soup, the healthiness depends heavily on how it is prepared and the ingredients used.

Did you know that the number of calories in 1 cup of corn soup can range dramatically, from as little as 100 to over 300, depending on the ingredients and preparation? This extensive range means a simple, homemade sweet corn broth is vastly different from a rich, creamy corn chowder thickened with heavy cream and butter.

According to the USDA, a medium ear of fresh sweet corn contains about 3 grams of naturally occurring sugar, which means yes, there is sugar in sweet corn soup. However, the total amount can vary significantly based on whether the soup is homemade or store-bought, and if added sweeteners were included during preparation.
