Jamie Oliver’s Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup is a light broth-based soup made with shredded chicken, sweetcorn, and simple seasonings. It combines tender protein with natural sweetness from corn, creating a balanced and comforting dish often inspired by classic Asian-style soups.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

    • 1 litre chicken stock

    • 1 can (300g) sweetcorn, drained

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 small onion, finely chopped

    • 1 garlic clove, minced

    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

    • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)

    • Salt and black pepper to taste

    • 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional for egg ribbons)

    • 1 spring onion, finely sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Place chicken breasts in a pot with half of the stock. Simmer gently for 12–15 minutes until fully cooked. Remove, cool slightly, and shred using two forks.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

In a separate large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.

Step 3: Add Stock and Corn

Pour in the remaining chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Add sweetcorn and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add Shredded Chicken

Return shredded chicken to the pot. Stir well and season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper.

Step 5: Optional Egg Ribbons

Reduce heat to low. Slowly drizzle beaten egg into the soup while stirring gently to create thin egg ribbons.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle sliced spring onions on top and serve hot.
