Brothy Chicken & Sweet Corn Soup

I love soup - and I came across this recipe on the ninemsn website when exploring recipes under the food section. I am particularly fond of Chicken & Sweet Corn Soup but have never found a recipe that I could say - yes...more please!! This one did it for me! This recipe makes for 4 small servings - but I always tend to add more stock and water etc to make it up to 6 small servings.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3  cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1  cup water
• 2  tablespoons Chinese wine or 2  tablespoons sherry wine
• 3  cm  piece fresh ginger, grated
• 1  garlic clove, sliced thinly
• 2  teaspoons  salt reduced soy sauce

Directions

1. Bring stock, water, wine, ginger, garlic, spring onion, soy sauce, and chicken to the boil in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
2. Reduce heat and simmer for about 7 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through.
3. Remove chicken from stock and when cool enough to handle, shred coarsely.
4. Return stock to boil.
5. Break egg into small bowl and whisk lightly.
6. Slowly pour egg into stock, whisking constantly so it forms small threads.
7. Add creamed corn, kernels and chicken to stock and return to the boil.
8. Serve!
