Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
Brown the Chicken
2
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the chicken and garlic. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins. 
  • Add the dried thyme and sweetcorn and cook for 1 min more.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh. It will still taste delicious once cooked!

Simmer the Soup
3
  • Sprinkle 2 tbsp flour (double for 4p) over the chicken and sweetcorn
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, 1 min. 
  • Add 450ml water (double for 4p) and chicken stock powder and mix thoroughly to combine. 
  • Simmer the soup until slightly thickened, 5-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Make the Crostini
4
  • Cut the baguettes widthways at an angle into 2cm thick slices.
  • Lay the slices onto a lined baking tray.
  • Toast in the oven until golden brown, 8-10 mins. 
  • Halfway through cooking, sprinkle the cheese over the baguette slices.
  • Return to the oven for remaining time to allow the cheese to melt. 

TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!

Finishing Touches
5
  • While the crostini cook, stir the creme fraiche into the thickened soup.
  • Cook until warmed through, 1-2 mins.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve and Enjoy
6
  • Divide your chicken and sweetcorn soup between bowls. 
  • Serve with the cheesy crostini.
