1. Place the stock in a large pan with 2 cups (500ml) water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes over medium-low heat.
2. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into small pieces. Add to the soup along with the creamed corn and return to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly add the cornflour stirring continuosly until thickened. (You may need to add a little extra water if the soup becomes too thick)
