Water chestnuts sweet corn dessert soup

My mum made this for me when I was young and now I make it for my darling! Alicia loves this dessert soup – which I don’t make so sweet so that she has it as a drink, not just as a dessert on days I cook it.

The water chestnuts are ‘cooling’ in nature, have a nice crunch and paired with the fragrant, sweet corn kernels, you can imagine that it is a refreshing dessert and drink for both adults and kids.

I cook this about once a week for Alicia and hubby and we have barley water twice a week (she loves to eat barley too!)

This dessert takes only 15-20min to cook so it’s really convenient!
