Ingredients

  • 8.5 oz Creamed corn
  • 1 cup Chicken broth low sodium
  • ½ teaspoon Ginger powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon Cold water
  • 4 oz Chicken breast thinly sliced, bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  • Whisk the egg: In a small bowl, crack and whisk an egg. Set aside.
    1 Large egg
  • Make the slurry: In another small bowl, mix together the corn starch and water to make the slurry.
    1 tablespoon Corn starch, 1 tablespoon Cold water
  • Make the soup: Add the canned creamed corn to a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the chicken broth, chicken breast, ginger, salt and soy sauce and let it come to a simmer.

  • Thicken: Once the corn mixture is simmering, add the corn starch slurry while stirring constantly, to ensure there are no clumps of corn starch.
  • Finish the soup: Remove the pot from the heat. Add the whisked egg to the soup while stirring in circles. This will give you the long ribbons of egg in the soup.

Notes

  • Do not add the egg if the soup is simmering or boiling. It will cause the egg to curdle and will not give you the silky texture you're looking for.
