Let's Talk Soup!

 
I like having soups in the house, they are a lifesaver. When you get home hungry, you can heat soup in a microwave and have it with bread or buns. This is one of my favourite soups. I got this recipe from a former chef at the former Holiday Inns.  Making this soup also gives a good reason not to discard chicken stock after boiling chicken.
What you need
  •  A packet of baby corn
  • Chicken stock
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • Black pepper
  • Butter /margarine
What to do
  • Mash the garlic cloves
  • Fry the garlic in very little butter (You can add finely chopped onions when frying)
  • Add the baby corn and fry till they start turning brown (don’t let it burn)
  • Add chicken stock and let it boil at low heat till the baby corn is soft.
  • You can add a thickener, salt to taste and spices at this stage. (Make sure the soup does not stick since it is thick)
  • Remove and let it cool for a while
  • Blend the mix in a blender to get a creamy even soup (Remember not to blend very hot stuff)
  • Serve with buns or bread.
