FAQs

What makes Chicken Sweet Corn Soup so delightful?

Chicken Sweet Corn Soup is enjoyable because of its comforting taste. The combination of tender shredded chicken, sweet corn kernels, and savoury chicken broth creates a rich and satisfying flavour. Thickened with cornstarch to give it a velvety texture, the aroma and warmth are enhanced with ginger and garlic. Sweet and savoury flavours are balanced with freshness from spring onions or herbs as a garnish in this soup.

How would you serve Chicken Sweet Corn Soup?

Chicken Sweet Corn Soup is best served hot as a starter or a light main course. Garnish with freshly chopped spring onions for added flavour, or sprinkle with black pepper and soy sauce to make it inviting. It is best for cold evening dinners or when you are together with your loved ones with crispy breadsticks, garlic bread, or fried wontons for added textural and flavour contrasts. It will be a comforting meal that you can have when you're unwell. It can also be served along with other Chinese or Indo-Chinese dishes as an all-inclusive multi-course meal.

How to store Chicken Sweet Corn Soup?

Leftover Chicken Sweet Corn Soup should be cooled to room temperature and stored in an airtight refrigerator container for 2-3 days. Reheat gently over low heat on the stovetop or microwave, stirring often to ensure even heating. If it's thickened, add some water or broth to loosen it up while it heats up. Do not freeze; the texture will be adversely affected.
