Notes

You can add noodles to the soup to make it more filling and even more flavourful
You can use frozen corn, corn kernels or  creamed corn in this recipe. If you don’t have a can of creamed corn, blend some corn before adding it to the soup. 
For a thicker soup, you can add a cornflour slurry by mixing 2 tbsp Corn flour into 1/4 cup of water and adding along with the stock. Make sure you stir continuously as you are adding it. 
Add a pinch of Sugar if you feel like it is a little Salty/Sour.
A shredded rotisserie chicken can be added instead of the chicken breast. 
Chicken thighs (boneless0 make for a more flavourful soup. They can be used here. The cooking time will need to be increased though.
