Ingredients

40g butter

1 medium onion (150g), chopped coarsely

800g canned creamed corn

300g canned corn kernels, drained

1 litre (4 cups) chicken stock

2 cups (500ml) water

2 cups (320g) chopped cooked chicken

4 medium zucchini (480g), chopped coarsely

¾ cup (180ml) pouring cream or evaporated milk

Method

Heat butter in a large saucepan or camp oven over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened.

Add creamed corn, corn kernels, stock and the water. Bring to the boil; simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Add chicken, zucchini and cream; simmer for 5 minutes or until hot. Season to taste. Serve with your favourite toasted sourdough, if you like.

Don’t have access to a fridge? Use canned evaporated milk instead of pouring cream and omit the chicken and add the same weight of cooked potato, if preferred.
