  1. In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the ginger and garlic and allow to infuse for a few minutes before adding the roast chicken and sweetcorn.

  2. Allow this to cook for a few minutes more, then add half of the watercress and allow to wilt.

  3. Serve with the other half of the watercress raw, for extra crunch.
