Is Sweet Corn Chicken Soup Healthy?

Depending on what you put into your sweet corn chicken soup, it can be a healthy soup recipe if you use natural fresh whole ingredients. Keep this chicken sweet corn recipe healthier by not adding cream to create a cream style soup. If you want to thicken your sweet corn soup, use corn starch or potato starch.

This corn & chicken soup recipe is great for the fall or winter, but can be made any time of the year and especially when you are feeling run down and need a chicken soup for flu.

Other soups for flu like beef stew, butternut squash soup Italian Egg Drop Soup or leftover turkey soup are perfect to when you are looking to sooth a cold or looking for a healthy and hearty meal idea.
