What’s better than a warm, yummy bowl of soup on a lazy rainy day or just flat out cold days where you want to stay inside, all day and do nothing except for watching movies or read a book. Although, if you're unfortunately under the weather then you surely don't desire to do a thing besides sleeping. But, then there are other days when you come home from a crazy, long, stressful day at school or work, and apparently you are starved, so what should you do? Walk into your kitchen and eat a huge batch of warm, hearty soup ready and waiting for you on your lazy, sick or after you've had a long, busy day!

Step 2
About 30 minutes before serving, get a cutting board place the chicken on the board and shred it with two forks. In a small container with a lid shake together flour and milk until mixed well and stir into soup. Add Corn. Let cook for another 30 minutes or more to allow the soup to thicken.
