Step 1

Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 10 mins or until softened and turning translucent. Add the curry paste and cook for 1 min. Stir in the coconut milk, chicken stock and risotto rice and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 mins or until the rice is tender.

Step 2

Bring a pan of water to a simmer, add the eggs and cook for 7 mins. Stir the shredded chicken and sweetcorn into the soup and cook for 5 mins to warm everything through. Season to taste and finish with the lime juice. Gently peel the shells off the eggs and cut them in half. Top the soup with the eggs and spring onions.
