Quick Chicken and Corn Soup

Quick Chicken and Corn Soup

Gosh I love discovering recipes like this quick Chicken and Corn Soup. Creating something delicious out of not much is one of my favourite ways to cook! It came about when I was trying to eat down the fridge without shopping prior to going on holidays. The fridge was looking pretty bleak by this stage. All that was left were a couple of very wilted cobs of corn, a few eggs and half a bbq chicken. What to cook? The weather was cold, so my go to was soup. Inspiration quickly followed and this quick chicken and corn soup was born.

And it is a truly fantastic soup. It’s super fast, uses just one pot and it’s extremely simple as well. And perfect for using up slightly old corn in the fridge and leftover chicken. What more could you ask for? It’s perfect!

Even if corn isn’t your favourite vegetable, this soup is absolutely worth trying. The delightful balance of flavour and texture will have you converted in just one bowl I promise!

If you don’t have leftover chicken to add to the soup you have two options. Either leave it out completely or stir through some thinly sliced raw chicken breast about halfway through the cook. This will gently cook the chicken while the corn finishes cooking.
