Guava, Corn, Carrot & Chicken Breast Soup

Why people make this soup

Guava has a mild flavour and plenty of seeds, but it is rich in vitamins and nutrients. It is associated with supporting steady blood sugar and the eyes. Paired with corn and carrot, this soup is traditionally taken to support a youthful complexion, healthy aging, the eyes and overall vitality. Nourilo cooks it here with skinned, trimmed organic chicken breast — a nice choice for older adults, those with weakening eyesight, and people watching the “three highs.”

Method

1. Rinse the guava with the skin on and cut into chunks.
2. Husk the corn and cut into pieces; peel the carrot and cut into chunks.
3. Rinse and blanch the chicken breast.
4. Add everything to 2.4 L of water and simmer 1 hour until reduced to 1.2 L. Eat the soup and the contents together.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is clear and naturally sweet, suitable for the whole family. For older adults and those watching the “three highs,” lean white meat is generally a healthier everyday choice than red meat — you can also use fresh fish in place of the chicken breast.
