Chinese Sweetcorn Soup

Chinese Sweetcorn Soup

This recipe is a vegan take on the traditional Chinese sweetcorn & egg soup, providing a delicious and hearty bowl of warm soup goodness. Made with simple ingreditens for a super flavour, this soup is nutritious and delicious for both kids and adults.

I grew up in Lisbon and was raised a vegetarian so our choices for restaurants and where to eat out, were limited. It was either Italian pizza & pasta or Chinese! Back in the day there was very little choice and we had Indian food at home all the time so that wasn’t a preferred option.

Chinese food was my favourite and I loved the sweetcorn and egg soup; I never had a Chinese meal without starting off with this soup.

Although you can use egg in your soup, you can make this recipe vegan by substituting the egg protein with a mix of chickpeas, endamame beans and butter beans. Get your vegan protein from these beans and pulses. For the most delicious tasting soup, I used Kallo reduced salt & organic stock cubes.

All of my soups pair beautifully with a homemade Herby Garlic Bread.
