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
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat until it simmers.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Gradually drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently to create silky egg ribbons.
Step 6
Once the eggs are cooked through, remove the soup from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce, if needed.
Step 7
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
