    Super-speedy, super-simple - a treat on a grey, rainy early Autumn day.

    Absolutely delicious! Added some steamed broccoli with the prawns, a dash of lime and some noodles to pad it out.

    Easy but Excellent recipe. The best home made soup ever. I made this at a get together and everybody just loved it. I doubled the amount of sweetcorn coz it just adds into the taste. Although, this is not very healthy for a high cholesterol person as the amount of thick coconut milk .

    Absolutely delish! Tried this out for first time and it will be a regular on my dinner menu...and reasonably healthy at less than 300 calories per serve (particularly if you use reduced fat coconut milk). The only suggestion I would make is that I added only half of the chicken stock as I like my soup to be thicker :o)

    Had this tonight as hubby had some fresh sweetcorn from his garden crop and it was to die for. Can't wait until more of his cobs are ripe. Although I have to confess that since I don't like prawns I used chicken left over from last nights roast.

    Very nice and tasty. And quick to make. I used broccoli instead of tomatoes and it was delicious. Served it with egg noodles.

    Made this as a starter for dinner with friends, everybody enjoyed it. I added the juice of half a lime just before serving and it really heightened the taste. I will definitely make this again and again.

    I made this as a main dish for supper as we have loads of corn on the cob to use! I added shredded leeks and carrot to bulk it out a little and we really enjoyed it. You could also add straight to wok noodles.

    i used 300g of sweetcorn as i had no prawns and instead added a salmon fillet. i also used vine tomatoes instead of cherry and blended the soup. absolutely delicious with a fiery kick! perfect for a cold winter day.
