Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 small carrot, finely diced
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Summer Garnishes

Instructions
 

  • Build the Broth
    Pour the chicken stock into a large saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the Vegetables
    Stir in the sweet corn kernels and diced carrot. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until tender.
  • Add the Chicken
    Mix in the shredded chicken and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  • Thicken Slightly
    In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water.
    Slowly add the mixture to the soup while stirring continuously. The broth should become lightly silky rather than thick.
