A Comforting Chicken & Sweetcorn Soup Base for Your Week

This freezer-friendly chicken & sweetcorn soup is designed for busy professionals who value structure over speed. One calm Sunday prep gives you three effortless meals—no decision fatigue, no weeknight stress. Just nourishing comfort when you need it.

What You'll Need

• 300g chicken breast, diced
• 300g sweetcorn (tinned or frozen)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 litre chicken stock
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Sea salt & white pepper
• Spring onions (optional)

The Method

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside. In the same pot, add onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Return chicken to pot. Add sweetcorn and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Mix cornflour with water to make a slurry. Slowly stir into soup to thicken. Simmer for 5 more minutes. Stir in soy sauce. Season with salt and white pepper. If using spring onions, stir in at the end.

✨ Optional: Extra Creaminess

For a richer finish: stir in 1 beaten egg in a thin stream while stirring the soup for an egg-drop style texture.

How to Freeze & Store

Cool the soup completely. Choose your storage method: Freezer: Portion into large silicone soup cube trays (each cube holds 1.5-2 cups). Freeze overnight, then transfer to labeled freezer bags. Stores up to 3 months. Refrigerator: Portion into glass jars or containers. Stores up to 4 days.

Shelf life: 3 months frozen | 4 days refrigerated

How to Use During the Week

Thaw one soup cube overnight in the fridge (or use refrigerated portion), then reheat gently in a pot. Serve with crusty bread, rice, or noodles for a complete, nourishing meal.

Other ways to use:

• Top with sliced spring onions and sesame oil
• Add cooked rice or noodles when serving
• Serve with crispy wontons or crackers
• Drizzle with chili oil for heat
