• 60 g sweetcorn kernels (frozen, tinned, or fresh)
• 60 g sweetcorn kernels (frozen, tinned, or fresh), mashed
• 60 g carrot, peeled and cut into 1 cm cubes
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 1-2 eggs, whisked
• 2 tbsp corn starch
• 4 tbsp water
• ½ tsp salt, or to taste
• ¼ tsp white pepper, or to taste

• 2 spring onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

1. Place 1 clove garlic into the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 7. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
2. Add 60 g carrot, cut into 1 cm cubes, to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 5. Set aside with the chopped garlic.
3. Add 60 g sweetcorn kernels to the mixing bowl. Pulse 2-3 times on Turbo for 0.5-second bursts to mash. Set aside.
4. Cut 100 g boneless chicken thigh or breast into 2 cm pieces. Thinly slice 2 spring onions for garnish and set aside.
5. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp corn starch with 4 tbsp water and mix well to form a smooth slurry. In another small bowl, whisk 1-2 eggs with a pinch of salt.
6. Add 950 ml chicken stock, the chopped garlic, and 100 g chicken pieces to the mixing bowl. Cook 5 min / 100°C / Speed 1 (Reverse).
7. Add the chopped carrot, 60 g whole sweetcorn kernels, and the mashed sweetcorn to the mixing bowl. Cook 6 min / 100°C / Speed 1 (Reverse). Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup to allow for some evaporation and prevent splatter.
8. Pour the corn starch slurry through the lid opening onto the blades while the Thermomix is running. Cook 2 min / 90°C / Speed 2 (Reverse).
9. Slowly pour the whisked eggs through the lid opening while the Thermomix is running. Cook 1 min / 90°C / Speed 1 (Reverse). The egg will form delicate ribbons.
10. Add ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp white pepper, and 1 tsp sesame oil to the soup. Mix 10 sec / Speed 1 (Reverse).
11. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with the sliced spring onions.
