Ingredients
For the cream of chicken soup…
- 250g frozen Quorn Vegetarian Chicken Pieces
- A drizzle of olive oil
- 1 corn on the cob
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small leek, sliced
- 2 stick of celery, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- 120ml semi-skimmed milk
- 80ml whipping cream
- 50g spinach leaves
To serve…(optional)
- Sourdough bread
Method
For the soup…
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
- Remove the kernels from the corn on the cob and reserve for later. Slice the cob in half and add to the pan (this provides lots of flavour!).
- Add the onion, leek, celery and garlic. Place a lid on the pan and sweat for 5 minutes.
- Add the Quorn Vegetarian Chicken Pieces and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the stock, bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Discard the cob. Blend half of the soup then pour back into the pan.
- Add the milk, cream, spinach and reserved sweetcorn kernels.
- Warm gently to wilt the spinach.
- Serve with warm sourdough bread.
Chefs tip
This recipe feels like a chowder. For a change scoop out the centre of a crusty roll and ladle the soup into the roll. Top with the bread roll lid and enjoy!
