Sweetcorn soup

Instructions

1 Heat the 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil in the insert pan of your slow cooker or a non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and coriander and sauté for 7–8 min without browning. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the rice wine or sherry and cook for 1–2 min until the liquid has been reduced by two-thirds. Alternatively, put the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook, covered, for 20–30 min until the onion is soft.

2 Return the insert pan, if using, to the slow cooker, or transfer the veg mixture to the slow cooker. Add the sweetcorn, creamed corn, stock and soy sauce. Season with pepper and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 3 hr.

3 Remove the lid and immediately pour in the beaten eggs in a slow stream, while stirring with a fork, until the egg creates small ribbons.
