Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken Breast
- 6 cups Chicken Broth
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Corn Kernels
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Scallions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and sear on each side until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside to cool slightly.
In the same pot, add grated ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a simmer. Shred the cooked chicken using two forks and add to the broth.
Add the corn kernels, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Allow the soup to return to a gentle simmer.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the simmering soup while gently stirring with a fork or chopsticks to form silky egg ribbons.
In a separate small bowl, mix the xanthan gum with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the soup to thicken slightly.
Finish by drizzling sesame oil over the soup and garnishing with chopped scallions.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
