Warming Chicken & Corn Soup

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 leek, finely sliced
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 2 sticks celery, finely diced
  • 400g chicken breasts fillets
  • 1L salt reduced chicken stock
  • 1cm piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced with the white and green parts divided
  • 1 x 200g can whole kernel corn
  • 1 x 400g can creamed corn
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to season
Sauce
  • Sauce
Methods
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot and add garlic, leek, carrot and celery. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the majority of the stock (leave 1 cup aside), chicken, ginger, the white parts of the spring onions. Brown chicken for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in whole kernel corn and creamed corn and mix to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cover for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked.
  • Remove chicken from the pot and use two forks to gently shred the chicken. Then return the shredded chicken back to the pot.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup stock and cornstarch. Stir the mixture into the soup and cook for 1 minute, or until the soup has thickened.
  • Using a spoon, begin to swirl the soup slowly in a continuous motion. While you are still swirling the soup, drizzle the whisked eggs into the soup in a steady stream. The hot broth will instantly cook the eggs, forming egg ribbons.
  • Add in the sesame oil, and stir to combine. Then taste the soup, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve warm, sprinkled with the remaining green parts of the green onions.
