Can I prepare the chicken and corn soup in advance?
Yes, this soup lends itself well to being prepared in advance. You can store it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container. When serving, heat it over low heat, adding some milk or broth if it has become too thick.
How can I make the soup lighter?
For a lighter version, you can replace the fresh cream with skim milk or an unsweetened plant-based drink, like almond or soy milk. Also, you can slightly reduce the amount of oil.
What can I accompany the chicken and corn soup with?
You can accompany it with bread croutons, bruschetta, or even basmati rice for a more substantial meal. An extra sprinkle of chives or a drizzle of raw extra virgin olive oil will make the dish even tastier.
