Autumn 2015 at the moment and finally some soup dishes.  Here is chicken and sweet corn soup which we have been making for 40 years or so: Maria was meticulous about shredding the chicken, Mum just chopped it (Peter).

Chicken and Sweet Corn Soup

Picture
This recipe makes enough for 6 and is hearty enough for a meal. Use chicken pieces and maybe bouillon cube stock if you need less.

Ingredients

 1 whole chicken (organic, ideally)
2 tablespoons oil
1 onion - chopped small
6 spring onions/scallions
2" ginger (grated)
4 or 5 cans of creamed corn or corn processed in blender/rocket
2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons pepper
3 teaspoons salt
2 chicken bouillon cubes (for extra chicken flavor and salt)
2 eggs
Ham, thinly sliced (optional)
1+ teaspoon chili (optional)
Lemon - juiced
Parsley
Corn starch (corn flour)
Picture

Method

Stock Options
1. Buy 1 liter chicken stock, or
2. Use 2 or 3 bouillon chicken stock cubes and water, or
3. Gently boil whole chicken with neck and giblets (or use chicken pieces) for 90 minutes or so, with an onion and celery tops if you have them.
Picture
Strain the stock and place in fridge overnight. When using, scoop off chicken fat sitting on top.
Assembly
1. Shred all cooked chicken meat using fork and cutting board.
Picture
2. If using whole corn kernels, use blender or "rocket" to smash kernels. Try blending half quite thoroughly and the other half only roughly.
Picture
Using both tinned and frozen corn kernels here.
Picture
Great with toasted garlic bread.
3. Heat oil in soup pot and add finely chopped onions.  Cook 5 minutes.

4. Add chicken stock, chicken bouillon cubes, sesame oil, pepper and grated ginger. Heat to boiling.

5. Beat both eggs well with a quarter cup of water.  Dribble slowly into boiling soup.
Picture
5. Tip in corn, lemon juice, shredded chicken, ham and chili (if using) and bring back to near boil.
Picture
6. Check for seasoning and consistency.  If too thin, bring to boil and add in a tablespoon of corn starch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water.

7. Add in parsley and serve.
