2. Add chicken fillets and sweet corn. Simmer gently for 10 min or until the chicken is cooked. Remove chicken and corn. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Add risoni to stock. Simmer for 10 min. Meanwhile, shred the chicken breast and cut the corn kernels from the cob. Return to the soup with the sugar snap peas and asparagus and simmer for 2 min. Divide soup between serving bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
