CHINESE CHICKEN AND CORN SOUP
Recipe video above. This is a very quick to make soup that is one of all my all time favourites, it's thick, creamy (but with no cream!), sweet from the corn, hearty and soul warming. I've been known to add greens to it, my favourite being chinese broccoli and broccolini, to make it a complete meal. Though this recipe is made with chicken, it is easily made vegetarian/vegan by omitting the chicken. Watch the cooking videoto see how this is made without using a chopping board!

EASY CHINESE CORN SOUP
You won't even bother ordering this soup from a Chinese restaurant anymore, this is so easy to make and very good! For a thicker soup use more cornstarch, I like to add in some sesame oil also and if I am serving this to guests I also add in a few drops of yellow food colouring for a nicer presentation.
