Soup turned out very tasty! This makes a lot of stock with four liters of water so I saved some stock for later use and used two cans of cream corn and one can of whole corn. I also added some fresh grated ginger, some soy sauce, a splash of mirin and a touch of toasted sesame oil. Thanks for the recipe!

I have a passion for healthy and simple dishes with lots of vegetables, although I love a treat every now and again also, especially ice cream!
