MANILA, Philippines — Got a bag of leftover chicken bones from making boneless chicken barbecue skewers sitting in your freezer for a week or two?

This is the perfect time to turn those leftover chicken bones into a delicious but light and healthy soup. Let Chef Jackie Ang Po show you the way with this simple, fuss-free recipe of Chicken and Corn Soup. 

Chicken and Corn Soup

Ingredients:

Leftover chicken bones from at least 3 pcs. chicken leg quarters

6 cups water

2 tbsps. cooking oil

1 pc. onion, minced

Flaked chicken meat

1 small can corn kernels
