Absolutely. Canned corn works well. Be sure to drain and rinse it before use to remove excess sodium. You can also use a can of cream-style corn to replace the blended corn paste for a quicker version.
Allow the soup to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The soup may thicken upon refrigeration; you can add a splash of water or broth while reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.
There are two common reasons. First, ensure you made the cornstarch slurry with cold water. Hot water will cause it to clump. Second, after adding the slurry, the soup needs to be simmered for a minute or two for the starch to activate and thicken the liquid. If it's still too thin, you can make a little more slurry and add it gradually.
