Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned cream-style corn
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons scallions (sliced thinly for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, combine the cream-style corn, chicken stock, and corn kernels over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually pour the slurry into the simmering soup while stirring constantly to thicken the mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the soup begins to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 3
Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the soup in a thin stream while stirring the soup gently in one direction with a spoon or chopstick. This will create delicate egg ribbons throughout the soup.
Step 4
Add the sesame oil, salt, and white pepper to the soup and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish with thinly sliced scallions. Serve hot and enjoy!
