PREPARATIONS
  • In a large pot on medium heat, add olive oil and sliced leek. Cook with the lid on, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until the leek is soft.
  • While the soup is cooking, remove outer skins and silks from corn cobs. Steam for about 10 minutes or until corn is tender.
  • Add cumin. Allow to toast for a couple of seconds then pour in stock and crushed tomatoes. Bring to the boil and cook until vegetables are soft.
  • Transfer corn to a hot frying pan and char gently on all sides. Using tongs to hold the hot corn, cut off the kernels and transfer to soup pot. Add shredded chicken and season to taste.
  • Cook for another 10 minutes. Just before serving, stir through ¾’s of crumbled fetta, allowing it to just melt.
  • Serve immediately. Garnish with coriander leaves, remaining fetta and lemon wedges to squeeze on top.

Tip: For a real kick, add extra chilli.
