➖ Recipe ➖

Ingredients - 

1 1/2 Tbsp (30ml) - Olive Oil
1 Tbsp (14g) - Unsalted Butter 
2 - Brown (Yellow) Onion, Diced 
6 - Garlic Cloves, Chopped 
2 tsp - Dried Oregano 
1 tsp (4g) - Ground Cumin 
3 - Chicken Breasts or 1 Cooked Rotisserie Chicken
1 Tbsp (20ml) - Sambal Oelek (Optional)
4 Cups (1L) - Chicken Broth or Stock 
2 - Corn Cobs, Trimmed 
2 Cans - White Beans, Drained and Rinsed 
Flat Leaf Parsley 
Seasoning To Taste 

Method - 

1. Add 1/2 Tbsp (10ml) olive oil in a pan over medium high, trimmed corn kernels and salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until corn is lightly charred. Remove and set aside. 

2. Place a pot over medium-high. Add the remaining olive oil and onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine and cook for 2 minutes, mixing regularly. 

3. Add chicken breast, sambar oelek (optional) and chicken broth or stock. Mix to combine, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Remove the chicken and reduce the heat to low. Shred the chicken with a fork into strips. If using rotisserie chicken, shred it up. If your chicken has stuffing, remove as much as possible and use it for another recipe. 

4. Add the white beans to the soup and slightly break them up. Simmer for 8 minutes and check the seasoning. Add the shredded chicken and charred corn and mix to combine. Cook for 2 minutes. At this stage, check and adjust the seasoning to taste. Remove from the stovetop. 

5. Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with flat leaf parsley and cracked black pepper. The soup can also be finished with a squeeze of lime juice. Dig in.

I know this isn’t exactly a meal prep series, but it’d still be awesome if you included info like how long it lasts in the fridge/freezer and reheating options (I know for this one would be simple but in general). Glad to see you make this a series!

[tarnsand]

Looks delish Chef Jack!!! As a born raised Cdn farm girl we had a massive veg garden. To freeze corn my job was one of the huskers. To quickly remove the silk if you use both hands twist opposite directions comes off easy.

Absolute masterpiece! I love a good brothy soup, i never liked the blended creamy soups, that are just homogeneous. Thank you chef, one more for the books!

[evehsv]

Love soups in winter this sounds delicious thanks. Chef Jack. 😊

[helenlawes]

This looks delicious.just right for the Australian winter.

[___Goose]

Made this soup and we absolutely loved it, the chilly paste ting had a bit more of a kick it then we expected, we had a lot left over so I'm exited yo try adding some potatoes leeks and pasta

[dizzee]

Great new series Jack - would be amazing if you could include the macros too - this soup looks delicious and I am sure is pretty healthy too!

[websterforrest]

Your channel is doing so well - this recipe looks great! I love the sauteed onions and the fresh chicken cooked then shredded into the soup - it's so rich and tasty . It's like home comfort food. As a longstanding subscriber I've seen your videos improve hugely. All the best to you! :D

[tobiasfinsterwalder]

Love your vids mate. Suggestion for series name: Jack in the budget ;)

[joeyk]

This looks great stuff Chef Jack, love this budget recipe. I can’t think of a name for your budget series but I do like the idea. It’s only 4:25 am and my brain won’t let me sleep so it obviously won’t let me think either 🤔 thank you 👨‍🍳 Jack for another tasty recipe. Love a good soup on these cold days. Hasn’t got over 8 here all week and the nights have been in the minus range. This is going to be dinner tonight.

[libasaurusrex]

Legend! Love your videos and this series. I'm so grateful for the grocery prices in the UK compared to Australian, Candian and American friends.

[micheletotton]

Nice one. It's winter here in South Africa so will try it

[smitajal]

It sure is comforting.. it's my type of recipe Chef Jack, everything in one pot, with a lot of flavours.... 💕💕💕💕

[josephfenech]

Well done as always Chef Jack! I am usually not the biggest fan of broth type soups, and you've made me crave it just the same. 😂 Looks delicious! 🤤

[torstensigulsson]

Looks awsome, please keep the budget friendly recipes coming!!

[amateurcrastinator]

[monagirlnyc]
