    Best chicken corn soup. An easy delicious budget version of the classic soup taking just 30 minutes to make. Made in one pot using frozen sweetcorn!

    Birds eye view of a bowl of best chicken corn soup served garnished with chopped coriander and a soup spoon in. Rest of soup in a saucepan at the top.

    This best chicken corn soup recipe is so tasty.

    It takes just 15 minutes prep and 15 minutes cooking to serve this version of the authentic chinese chicken corn soup that you order from Chinese restaurants.

    Bonus! This is a healthy chicken and corn soup. It's a thick and creamy soup but it isn't made with any cream / heavy cream.

    This Chinese corn soup recipe is made naturally sweet from the corn so there's no artificial sweeteners either.

    You can use canned cream corn for this recipe if you want. I use frozen sweetcorn to make it as cheap and free from any additives as possible.

    My step by step guide below shows you how to make creamed corn using frozen sweetcorn.

    It's very similar to the method I use in my popular corn chowder, creamy sweetcorn chowder recipe!

    Chicken corn soup in a saucepan with a wooden spoon. Empty soup bowl above.

    Although I've made this creamy corn soup with chicken you could easily make it into a vegetarian sweet corn soup by removing the chicken.

    Often nothing beats of good bowl of soup on a cold day.

    This is definitely a really hearty soup. One that the whole family will love.

    Some people like to add a little soy sauce or sesame oil in when serving. That's a personal preference feel free to add if you want to!

    You could also stir in some extra veggies too like green beans or broccoli. That way you could make it a complete meal for dinner!

      Although I love a classic creamy corn chowder, sometimes you just want a lighter texture - particularly nowadays when it's super hot most of days. Great and delicious variation!

        Yeah I love a classic creamy corn chowder too Ben. Have you checked my corn chowder out? The link is in the recipe post. But this also goes down well on warmer days too.

        Hi Velva. Thanks for your comment. It's not quite a corn chowder but it is similar. There's a link in the post for my actual corn chowder recipe if you're interested. Thanks again.

      I do love thick and creamy soups! This one sounds perfect for the cool nights that I'm sure are coming soon. (We're not sure when since we're in a new area now...but I know they're coming!) Great tip on making creamed corn and using a paste to thicken this soup up. Definitely will be hanging on to this recipe!!

      I love soups, in fact its hard for me to eat anything without it. We have something similar where we also add spinach or moringa leaves, sometimes we can swap the chicken meat with crab meat. Yum

        Adding spinach into this soup is a great idea. I love that Raymond and I'm going to give it a try! Also love the idea of swapping out the chicken meat with crab meat sometime. Thanks!
