Chicken and Sweet Corn Soup with Pasta

Recipe video above. This is my homemade version of Chicken and Sweet Corn Cup-a-Soup with noodles. It's quick and easy, and the flavour is in a completely different league to the instant kind! I love how the broth is thickened without using flour or cornflour - just a can of creamed corn and the starch from the pasta!TIP: Use the empty cans to measure the milk and stock. No need to pull out a measuring cup!

Make soup broth - Into the same pot, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Add the creamed corn, corn, stock, milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Chop chicken - Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1cm / 0.4" cubes.
Add pasta - Add the pasta and chicken (and any juices on the cutting board). Cook for 3 minutes (or whatever the pasta cook time is).
Stir ins - Add cheese and stir to melt. Add the kale and stir until it wilts.
Serve immediately, with a little sprinkle of green onion and extra cheese if you want!
