Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14-15 ounces) cream-style corn
- 1 can (14-15 ounces), drained whole kernel corn
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
Instructions
In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the cream-style corn and whole kernel corn to the pot. Stir well to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until fully dissolved, creating a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup while stirring constantly. Allow the soup to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
In another small bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin stream while stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks to create egg ribbons.
Stir in the sesame oil, soy sauce, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the soup from heat and ladle into bowls.
Garnish each bowl with sliced scallions before serving. Enjoy your homemade Chinese corn soup!
