- Corn (one cob)

Instructions:
- Get to chopping first as that is the most mundane task in the kitchen. So, chop the vegetables in equal parts.
- This is very important as you don’t want them to be very small or else, they will end up dissolving in the soup.
- Sauté the vegetables on medium heat until you see the onion turning translucent which is your cue to put in the garlic and keep it on medium heat till you can smell the fragrance.
- Next step is to add your corn, zucchini as well as potatoes, rice, and chicken. Make sure everything is seasoned well.
- Add your chicken stock to the pot on a sim heat (approximately 160 degrees) until you see the rice gets cooked. (approx. 15-20 minutes).
- Now is the time to take out the chicken from the pan and let it rest so that the juices are well preserved in it.
- When the chicken is not hot anymore, shred it or cut it into small pieces for the soup.
- You can garnish it with anything that you feel like but lemon juice is the best option as it gives the soup that tangy taste that everybody craves.
- The corn can be either in the cob form or can even be canned as it does not make a difference in the flavor.
- If you do not have zucchini, one can also go for yellow squash as it is the perfect substitute for it.
