The chicken comes before the egg in this Chinese-inspired chicken and sweetcorn soup recipe. Perfect as a starter before a proper feast, this deceptively simple soup is as moreish as it gets. Dropping in beaten eggs towards the finish is a great kitchen hack.

If you've never added bread to your soup, this recipe will change your mind. It's similar to the Italian soup, Pappa al Pomodoro, and is so simple to make. It's also lovely when smoked bacon and onion are added. Our tip: serve it chilled in summer.
