Ingredients

1 (250g) trimmed corn cob

1 1/2 teaspoon ginger, finely grated

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 green onions (scallions), sliced thinly

250 gram canned creamed corn

1 tablespoon japanese soy sauce

1 litre (4 cups) salt-reduced chicken stock

2 cup (320g) chopped skinless cooked chicken

1 egg white, beaten lightly

Method

1.Cut kernels from corn cob.

2.Heat a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat, cook corn kernels with ginger, garlic and half the green onion, stirring, until fragrant.

3.Add creamed corn, soy sauce and stock, bring to the boil. Add chicken. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Gradually stir in egg white. Season to taste.

4.Serve soup topped with remaining green onion.

If you don’t have salt-reduced chicken stock, replace 1 cup of the stock with water. You will need to buy a barbecued chicken weighing about 900g for this recipe. We have delibrately made this fast and satisfying recipe without oil in order to make it low fat. So ideally you need to use a non-stick saucepan. You could however use a regular pan and spray it with a little cooking oil.
