Chicken and Corn Chowder

My three children love this soup. It's great to include this in a flask in your child's lunchbox when the weather gets cold. For a vegetarian option leave out the shredded chicken and use vegetable stock.

Ingredients:

• 15g/1 tbs butter
• 1 large shallot (55g/2oz), finely chopped
• 1 medium potato (eg Desiree, c200g/7oz), peeled and diced into 1cm cubes
• 1 x 400g (or 2 x 198g) can Green Giant sweet corn, drained
• 650ml of chicken stock (vegetarians can use vegetable stock)
• 6 tbs double cream
• 50g / 2 oz shredded, cooked chicken
• 1 tbs chopped parsley (optional), to serve

Method

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and sauté the shallot for 5 minutes, until soft.
2. Add the potato, Green Giant sweet corn and stock, bring up to a simmer and cook until the potato is soft.
3. Blend half of this mixture until smooth, then return to the pan and stir in the double cream. Season to taste.
4. Stir in the shredded chicken. Serve with a little chopped parsley scattered over (optional).

Serves: 4
Cooking time: 20mins
