Ingredients
  

Mushrooms

  • 1 tsp Oil

  • 4 cloves Garlic finely sliced
  • Salt and Black Pepper I use loads of black pepper!

Coriander and Chilli Paste

  • Handful Coriander
  • 2 small Green Chillies
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • Salt

Soup

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast cut into small cubes
  • 400 grams Cream Styled Corn
  • 100 grams Orzo Pasta
  • 200 ml Mushroom or Veg Stock
  • 2 tbsp Creme Fraiche or 250ml Milk of choice

Instructions
 

  • In a large, deep pot over medium high heat, add the oil and butter.
    Stir in the mushrooms, garlic, and salt and pepper. Sauté  for about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In a blender combine all the ingredients for the coriander and chilli paste and blend.
  • In the same pot that you cooked the mushrooms in, stir in the chicken and add the coriander paste. Cook for 5 minutes before adding the creamed corn, mushroom or veg stock and orzo pasta. Cook for 5 minutes, add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the creme fraiche, check the seasoning and enjoy!

Notes

If you have any leftover cream of mushroom soup, now is the time to use it up! Just add it to the soup, to enhance the flavour even more. :)
