Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup Sweet corn (canned or frozen)
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 teaspoons Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat until it simmers.
Add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the broth. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Add the shredded chicken and sweet corn to the pot. Stir and let it cook for 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through and the corn is tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour this into the pot while stirring continuously to thicken the soup slightly.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Gradually drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently to create silky egg ribbons.
Once the eggs are cooked through, remove the soup from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
