New Idea Food Director Barb Northwood says: With the weather getting cooler, this delicious soup is perfect to have on hand. You can cook the chicken in the consomme the day before and refrigerate it, or if you’re looking for a shortcut, replace the chicken breasts with a barbecued chook. It freezes well in individual portions too, just omit the egg.Notes
Tip: For a change, try adding a 175g packet Singapore noodles to the soup. Just prepare noodles according to the packet instructions, then stir in with the corn.
