  1. Heat the oil in a deep pan and gently cook the chicken, garlic and ginger for 3-4 minutes without colouring

  3. eat together the egg and lemon juice and slowly trickle into the soup pan, stirring with a chopstick or fork to form egg strands. Season to taste, garnish with salad onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with a drizzle of soy sauce and some prawn crackers.

    Absolutely lovely. My 5 year old daughter decided (for some reason!) That she wanted soup so I found this one. We both loved it, 2 year old didn't but you can't have everything! I think I'll put noodles in next time. Will definitely be making it again.

    I, too, added some noodles which I firstly lightly crushed (dried) so that they were short. Thickened at the end with a little cornflour and water. Was utterly delicious! Was difficult to find a chicken and sweetcorn soup recipe that didn't call for creamed corn (which my local Asda doesn't stock and I don't fancy a 40 mile trip to the other side of town to the Asda that does!)

    Brother wanted to get this from local chinese but I decided to make it instead. He was well impressed. Very easy recipe. I did poach my chicken breasts in the stock first and then was able to shred them and used the same stock for the soup. Will be making this again.
