  • “Evie, this soup was so easy to make, I don’t know why I have never attempted it before. The instructions were very easy to follow and I didn’t even have to buy any special ingredients for it either. I gave it 5 stars for both the simplicity and the taste. Thankyou.”

  • “This tastes so authentic, I’ll never buy another chicken and corn soup from a takeaway shop again! I was a bit dubious about putting egg into this soup, but never before realised that this was the secret ingredient that makes it so perfect. Thanks for a great recipe, I’m glad I took a chance and tripled the recipe, we ate it all in one sitting!”

  • “Easy, tasty, will make again. Instead of the water and stock powder I used ready-made stock from a carton, low salt variety (it is MSG free unlike some stock powder). This was nicer than a lot of chinese restaurants. Easier than many of the other recipes on here looked too. Will make again for sure!”

  • “Amazing! My kids and hubby love it! So easy and quick to make, It takes me20 min, max!”

  • “Sensational soup! Followed the recipe exaclty and the results were beautiful. I served it with Vogels toast which was a perfect partnership. A flavoursome soup. No need to look anywhere else for C&C soup. Thanks Evie”

  • “I found this recipe while looking for a quick and easy thing to make when I didn’t have much on hand.I didn’t even have creamed corn, but found a substitute for it using frozen corn, milk, butter and sugar.I didn’t have the chicken stock powder, but used a teaspoon of “Better than Bouillon”.The results were delicious!This is a keeper.”

  • “I’m eating this as I type. I had exactly two chicken thighs left and had no idea what to do with them! This soup is exactly like the one I used to have often when I lived in Asia. It’s not only easy to prepare using simple ingredients, it’s a very good soup to serve if someone is under the weather. The boiled chicken and egg offer easily digestible protiens, and the ginger is good for upset tummys. I followed this exactly ( only upped the ginger slightly, I love the taste ) and it was perfect. Thanks!”

  • “Wonderful and easy and so very tasty. The family loved it and it warmed us all up on this cold winters night !!I made it exactly as per the recipe and it was so quick to make. Very yummy indeed !!Thanks Ma Duck, a keeper here !!”

  • “Great flavours, simple dish to put together.Only thing I changed was I left the egg out as I don’t like eating eggs.Otherwise I kept to the recipe.Thank you Evie for a very yummy soup.”

  • “So yummy and dead easy to make!Will definately be making this again!”

  • “Great soup Evie! I preferred this to most Chinese restaurant varieties because I can always taste they are full of too much salt and/or other nasties. The only change I made was while cutting up the chicken also included a little of the breast for some extra chunks of meat and also used two eggs instead of one.”

  • “This is even better than the chicken and sweetcorn soup we get at our local Chinese restaurant.My boyfriend says we need to give them this recipe to use instead! :-)”
