Sweet Corn Chicken Soup

 A quick and easy meal that you can have on its own or with a slice of toast.  After over 10 days of really hot weather we suddenly went to a cold snap in Melbourne with the temperatures dropping 15 degrees C overnight.  We all felt like soup and this is one very easy soup to make even if you have to run to the store to get the ingredients.  

This recipe is from https://mamalolacooks.com/corn-soup-egg-drop-soup/ - I have modified it slightly. 

Ingredients:

1 tin sweet corn kernels

1 tin creamed corn

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 egg

2 cloves garlic - minced finely

1 small piece of ginger - minced finely

4 cups chicken stock

2 teaspoons corn flour

1/2 cup water

2 spring onions, chopped finely

salt and pepper to taste

a handful of shredded cooked chicken if you have it.

Method:

In a large pot, boil the sweet corn kernels, stock, creamed corn, soy sauce ginger and garlic.  boil for about 20 minutes.  Add the shredded chicken if you have it, or you can miss this step.

Make a slurry with the corn flour and water and add to the mix and boil for 5 more minutes.

Turn off the stove. 

Beat the egg and drizzle over the soup, and mix the egg around with a spoon.

Add salt and pepper to taste and the spring onions for garnish.
