Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 can (14 oz) Canned creamed corn
- 4 cups Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper (optional)

Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, combine the chicken stock and creamed corn. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Add the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the soup while stirring constantly to thicken it slightly.
Beat the egg in a separate small bowl. Gradually drizzle the beaten egg into the simmering soup in a thin stream while stirring gently to create egg ribbons.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper (if using). Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Garnish the soup with finely sliced spring onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
