Chicken and Corn Soup - from "Cut out the Crap for Kids"

Good Afternoon friends! I hope this finds you all well! We are all well here … we are celebrating our 2nd Daughters Birthday today … she is now ‘double digits’ … MISS 10! She is my ‘wild child’ and was a huge reason for us first going Additive Free as she reacted badly with her behaviour to Additives … she is fun, crazy and makes me laugh daily more than anyone I know … we also clash often (might be something to do with us both being stubborn and strong willed!) but despite this she fills my world with happiness … I love her unconditionally, I am sure that other Mothers know what I mean with this feeling!

I shared Chicken Schnitzel from my first book “Cut out the Crap” last week and in that blog advised everyone that to be fair on those that buy the books I don’t share my recipes from the books but I have decided to make an exception for only 2 recipes from each of these books so you get an idea of what my recipes are like … over the next few weeks I will continue to share them on my blog here for you for easy access. Please be sure to ‘subscribe’ to my blogs on the front page of my website, it will ensure that these recipes get straight to your email inbox and you don’t miss them …. you won’t want to miss next weeks recipe, when I share something super exciting from my 3rd book “Cut out the Crap with Style” … until then, enjoy this Chicken and Corn Soup recipe from my 2nd book “Cut out the Crap for Kids” … it tastes just like you would expect to get at a Chinese Restaurant and yet SO easy to make and you know exactly what is in it! It is a huge hit with my kids! ENJOY!
