Creamed Sweetcorn - Has anyone seen any?

Me too! I've tried ASDA, Sainsbury's and Somerfield and no luck. However, seeing as you lot can get it, here's my recipe.
CHICKEN & SWEET CORN SOUP
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1 chicken breast (either fresh or leftover from a roasted chicken)
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil (if you are using a fresh chicken breast)
200g (½ a 400g tin) of creamed sweet corn
500ml of water
1 chicken stock cube
Ground pepper to taste
METHOD
Break the egg into a bowl and pick out any bits of shell. Mix up the egg.
If you are using a fresh chicken breast, cut it into very thin strips. Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 5 minutes until it is cooked thoroughly. Stir frequently to stop it sticking.
If you are using a leftover roasted chicken breast, tear it into very thin strips.
Put the chicken and sweet corn into a saucepan on a medium heat. Add the water and the stock cube. Mix thoroughly. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat until it is just boiling (simmering). Continue to cook, stirring as the mixture boils, for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Slowly pour the egg into the soup, stirring gently all the time to form ‘strings' of cooked egg. If the soup reaches the desired consistency before you’ve added all of the egg, stop adding the egg.
Season with the pepper.
ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES
Add ½ a tablespoon of cornflour mixed with a little water towards the end to thicken the soup if desired.
If you somehow manage to completely forget the chicken, you have still made Creamed Sweet Corn Soup.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0 -
Hi - Have you tried any local ethnic type supermarkets? My local Chinese supermarket stocks it. Good luck0

Update. Following Weezl's advice, I checked in Tesco's, Yate and have finally managed to get a 400ml tin! What with this and the price reduced but very plump chicken from ASDA, I might just get some of this soup myself at long last!The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0

My daughter will love the recipe, have printed it off for her0 -
You wouldn't want to leave any in there, would you? My recipes don't assume that you've done a Cordon Bleu masterclass - quite the reverse, in fact!The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0

As an aside, I saw somewhere that if you crack an egg by tapping it on a flat surface instead of the edge of a bowl, you don't get bits of shell in your egg. I've tried it, and it works - I have no idea why, but thought it might save you all those precious minutes of picking out those bit of shell...0

A TV chef gave a good tip once - he said that one of the easiest ways of retrieving eggshell from egg mixture in a bowl is to put in a larger piece of shell and the smaller bits stick to it.0

Creamed sweetcorn is hard to find in the big supermarkets. The last lot I got was from my local corner shop.
My home made chicken & sweetcorn soup was better than I've had in any restaurant which always had a gloopy consistency.
I did try to mush ordinary tinned sweetcorn with a blender and it wasn't anything like the one in the tin. I also added a bit or cornstarch but it was still not a bit as good.
The first lot I made was using defrosted & skinned ready cooked chicken which I bought at the co-op for pennies last christmas eve.
I recommend everyone to have a go at making some of this soup. It's really easy and quick and delicious.0
