Chicken & Corn Soup…

May 24, 2010 19 Comments by Kirsty

Now known in our house as “Firework Soup”, so named by the little guy because of the explosion of corn with each bite.

It’s very easy & tasty too. All our kids love it but if you’d like a bit of fire with the corn perhaps add some chilli once you’ve served the kids.

Chicken & Corn Soup

6 Fresh Corn Cobs cooked & then removed from cob
500gms quality chicken mince or breast cooked & set aside

4 Potatoes peeled & chopped
2 Leeks finely chopped (whites only)
Olive oil
1 litre of chicken stock

First add a generous slug of olive oil to your saucepan. Next add the leek & cook until soft & transparent. Then add the potato & the chicken stock.

Cook until the potatoes are soft.

Blend the pototo & leek base until smooth & then add the cooked chicken & corn and heat.

Add some flat leaf parsley & some cracked pepper too.

Enjoy.

Fireworks, huh? We're in. Managed to convince my clan to eat all manner of crustacean type critters by dubbing it Tentacle Soup. It's the Middle's fave, just on creepy crawly principle.

Looks great – hearty enough for a 'meal' soup, with only a few simple ingredients (like). Definitely going to try this one!
