My method to make this easy and authentic chicken corn soup
This recipe doesn’t require an extensive list of ingredients. You’ll need a few ingredients that you’ll easily in your pantry and chicken. It depends on what I have on hand, but I will usually take a bone in chicken breast (for extra flavor and nutrition) and cook it in water ginger and garlic paste. This will not only cook the chicken but also create a base or in other words Chicken Broth for the soup.
1 TBS Ginger & Garlic Paste 1 Bone In or Boneless Chicken Breast
After the chicken is done, I pull it out of the pot and turn the heat to medium high. I start adding all the ingredients including the Cream style sweet corn but except corn starch, egg and sesame oil. I also shred the chicken once it cools down.
The Star Ingredient Corn Starch Slurry Shredded Chicken
Once the soup comes to a boil, I quickly mix up some corn starch with water and add it to the soup to thicken it up. Then I add a whipped egg very slowly to the soup while mixing it to create those strings of egg that you see in your favorite Chinese soup. Again, the trick here is to add the egg very slowly while mixing the soup. Then I add some shredded chicken and chopped green onions. Cook it on low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the stove and drizzle in some Sesame Oil and VIOLA! Easy and Authentic Chicken Corn Soup is ready!
