Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 1 small carrot, diced into cheerful little cubes
• 1 small celery stalk, diced (think of it as winter’s green confetti)
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Imagine the veggies dancing in the pot like snowflakes!

1. Create the Roux:

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux. This will help thicken the soup, creating a cosy blanket of warmth.

1. Combine Ingredients:

Add the shredded chicken, corn kernels, garlic powder, and onion powder to the pot. Stir to combine. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes until all ingredients are heated through and the flavours’ have melded together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

• Make it Creamy: For an even creamier texture, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
• Add Spice: If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
• Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with extra corn and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Enjoy this comforting Chicken Corn Soup and the elegance of your O2 Stoneware Soup Bowls! Perfect for a quick lunch, a cosy dinner, or even a portable meal at work or school.
