Soup season is HERE. I couldn’t be more excited for some cooler weather, and a reason to make ALLTHESOUP. I’m in the process of stocking my freezer with deliciousness.
Soup is the ultimate cold-weather comfort food, and I’m ALL about it! Any meal I can make in less than 30 minutes, is a winner for me. When a recipe tastes like this, I’m even happier.
I’m planning on having a freezer full of soup so I can grab a different one each day for lunch, or have them on hand to grab a quick dinner, or soup course whenever I need or want one.
With just a few simple ingredients, including canned creamed corn (you can, of course, use fresh corn, and switch the white rice out for brown rice or wild rice if you wish) you’ll be amazed at how quick this is and how yummy!
I’m one of those people that think soup can be the entire meal, are you?
If you think soup can be a meal, you’ll enjoy my Albondigas as well as Potato Leek Soup! You will enjoy some Whole Wheat Rolls too.

Kylee’s Notes & FAQs
What do do with leftovers?
- Store this soup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- This is a great recipe to freeze.
Substitutions/Additions
- Using pre-cooked rice (or rice noodles) and rotisserie chicken is a GENIUS as a shortcut.
- When adding the ginger, add a few peeled cloves of garlic.
- Add a little bok choy towards the end of cooking, for a bright green color (and yummy additional flavor)
- Fish sauce is a good addition instead of soy if you like it!
Key Recipe Ingredients
The full list of ingredients and amounts is found in the printable recipe card below.
- Ginger – I buy this whole in the produce section and use it fresh.
- Chicken stock – make your own chicken stock, or grab a carton of chicken broth from the grocery store.
- Soy sauce – this gives a salty, savory taste the soup. Switch it out for tamari if you prefer.
- Sesame oil. This isn’t 100% essential, you could skip it if you don’t have it, but I personally love the flavor. If you can find it, do use it!
- Creamed corn. Also called cream-style corn by some brands.
- Rice – precooked rice, I use long grain – but you can use whatever you have leftover.
- Chicken – cooked chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- Green onions – because they’re pretty! (and they add a yummy onion flavor)
- Salt & pepper – as always, this is to taste.
