ingredients

6 cups chicken stock
1 large chicken breast fillet (boneless)
300 g canned corn kernels
300 g canned creamed corn
1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 eggs (beaten)
2 2 scallions (finely sliced) or 2 green onions (finely sliced)

directions

Bring the stock to the boil in a large saucepan(depending on your taste or needs you may wish to substitute some of the stock for water).
Add chicken breast fillet to the stock, turn the heat off and cover the pain with a lid for 15 minutes.
Remove chicken breast from the stock and leave to cool for a few minutes then shred.
Add corn to stock and bring to the boil over a medium heat.
Combine soy sauce and cornflour into a paste then stir into the soup to thicken slightly.
Add shredded chicken to soup.
Slowly pour beaten eggs into the soup in a steady stream, stirring constantly with a fork.
Serve topped with the sliced spring onions and enjoy!
NB: Cooking time includes the 15 minutes for "poaching" the chicken breast.

500/600g of chicken thighs instead of breast, as it is a juicier piece. 1x fresh red chilli or chilli flakes.

4 garlic cloves, crushed, thumb grated ginger, big thumb fresh grated turmeric, sauté before adding stock to release flavours.

Just finished a delicious soup based on this recipe. I used homemade stock and added garlic, ginger and fresh turmeric by sautéing these before I added the stock. I also included a few fresh peas, blanched, to add colour at service. Yum; I'll be making this again.
