CHICKEN & SWEET CORN SOUP
Serves 2

1 egg
1 chicken breast (either fresh or leftover from a roast chicken)
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil (if you are using a fresh chicken breast)
200g (? a 400g tin) of creamed sweet corn
1 chicken stock cube
500ml of water
Ground pepper to taste
METHOD

If you are using a fresh chicken breast, cut it into thin strips!. Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat!. Fry the chicken for about 5 minutes!. Stir frequently to stop it sticking!.
If you are using a leftover chicken breast, tear it into thin strips!.
Put the chicken and sweet corn into a saucepan on a medium heat!. Crumble the stock cube into the water and pour it into the pan!. Mix thoroughly!. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat until it is just boiling (simmering)!. Continue to cook, stirring as the mixture boils, for about 10 to 15 minutes!.
Slowly pour the egg into the soup, stirring gently all the time to form ‘strings' of cooked egg!. If the soup reaches the desired consistency before you’ve added all of the egg, stop adding the egg!.
Season with the pepper!.
ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES
If you want a thick soup, add ? a tablespoon of cornflour mixed with a little water towards the end of the cooking!.
For Creamed Sweet Corn Soup, omit the chicken and substitute a vegetable stock cube for the chicken one!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
