Spicy Chicken & Sweetcorn Soup

(Serves 4-6)

Made from left-over chicken carcase – cooked or raw - this is an ideal starter for your chicken main course.

 

Ingredients:

         1 carrot (sliced)
         1 onion (diced)
         8 baby sweetcorn (chopped)
         1 handful barley or rice
         Chicken carcase
         2 pints (0.94 ltrs) water
         Tsp of chili flakes
         1 chicken stock cube

 

Heat up some cooking oil in a heavy bottomed pan, and add the chicken pieces or carcase. Cook for approx 5 minutes stirring regularly, then add the onion. Cook for a further 3-5 mins until onion is soft, then add the water.

Leave for a further 20 minutes or so, then remove the chicken carcase and any pieces. Remove any chicken from the bones, and return the chicken scraps to the water.

Add the chopped sweetcorn, chili flakes and the barley or rice.

Break down the stock cube and add to the soup.

Cook for a further 25 minutes then add  salt and pepper to season.

Taste, and add more salt if needed.
