'''Corn soup''' is a [[soup]] made of [[maize|corn]], typically [[sweetcorn]]. Initially popular only in corn-producing areas of the world, the dish is now widespread because of greater corn distribution. Typical ingredients are corn cut from the cob, water, butter and flour, with salt and pepper for seasoning. Additional ingredients vary by region, and may include eggs.

== Native Americans ==
Corn, being a staple crop for many [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] tribes has led to corn soup being a primary food among them.  M. R. Harrington reported that 1908 hulled-corn soup ''o<sup>n</sup>no'kwǎ''' was the most popular dish for the [[Seneca tribe|Seneca]] [[Native Americans in the United States|Indians (Native Americans)]]. He also stated, "[s]eldom do the Indians, [[Paganism|pagan]] or [[Christianity|Christian]], meet for any function [...] without a kettle of o<sup>n</sup>no'kwǎ', hot and savory, to regale the crowd". The soup was served at religious events, the people getting a ladleful every time they encircled the kettle.<ref>M. R. Harrington. ''Some Seneca Corn-Foods and Their Preparation''.
