- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper

Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the scallions and grate the ginger.

Add the diced chicken to the pot and simmer for 6-7 minutes until fully cooked.
Stir in the sweet corn kernels and creamed corn. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the soup to thicken it.
