🌽 🥣 The Savannah Corn - This corn soup was one of the BEST I've had. The taste, the consistency was on point. The heat was there and not too overpowering (Maybe they used pimento 🌶️). Lastly, serving the soup in a @imusausa pot was a nice touch!

Honestly, the mixture of everything blended really well!
