Thai Chicken and Corn Soup image

This would have to be one of the best soups I have ever tasted, and definately the best chicken and corn soup. It has more flavour than Chinese versions, with the addition of chilli, coriander, ham, and of course sesame oil. I actually use about half the amount of chilli, which still gives it enough flavour without being too spicy for my children.
