Simple chicken and corn soup

Quercetin is a mast cell stabiliser and onions are chock full of it - one of the best natural sources in fact! Unfortunately brown onions are also histamine liberators and so the safest option for those with MCAS are the white variety which have both white flesh and a white skin. This soup has been designed with speedy preparation in mind to keep histamine at a minimum.

Hot tips!

🔥 To have the chicken defrosted for the shortest possible time, delay taking it out of the freezer until after step 4. The onions can be taken off the heat while you defrost and chop the chicken

🔥 White onions can be hard to find so when you get some, chop them immediately, freeze and use as required

🔥 For better flavour use chicken thighs rather than breasts
