Crab and sweetcorn soup

This soup brings back fond memories of my childhood. With 7 children to feed, my mum would cook the soup in a ridiculously huge pot. It was always my job to shred the seafood sticks, a task I was always happy to do, knowing that a bowl of this heartwarming and creamy soup was soon on its way. I would love to watch my mum swirl the beaten egg into the pot to form delicate ribbons, beautiful! This soup is so simple, it can be made and on the table within half and hour, easily. This recipe serves 6-8 and can be frozen for up to a month.

Chicken/ veg stock cube
3 spring onions, chopped
