This chicken and sweetcorn soup is based on a classic Chinese take-out, family favourite. It’s so easy to make at home – and no doubt a lot healthier and fresher!
The secret to the authentic, full flavour is our delicious made-from-scratch chicken stock base. Even without the traditional ‘egg drop’ it has the perfect texture. We use fresh, juicy corn off the cob and a few potatoes for extra creaminess. There’s tons of Asian flavours with loads of fresh ginger, shallots and garlic – but it won’t be too spicy for the kids. If you fancy this with a little extra kick, simply add a sprinkle of freshly chopped chilli and spring onion.
We start the soup off on the stove top, then finish it nice and easy in the Vibe blender, heat-proof, stainless-steel jug. In 10 seconds flat, your chicken and sweetcorn soup is ready to serve and still piping hot.
This soup is about as comforting as it gets and something the whole family will enjoy. It’s hearty enough not just to be a Winter starter but a healthy, simple meal that’s perfect any time of the year.
