When it comes to Chinese soup, most Americans think of wonton and egg drop first. We sure love those, but how 'bout adding another one to our list of favorites? This velvety soup is company-fancy, but so easy. They won't believe you made it yourself!
What You'll Need
- 7 cup chicken broth
- 2 (14-3/4-ounce) cans cream-style corn
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon cold water
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
What to Do
- In a soup pot, bring the chicken broth and corn to a boil over high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Add to the chicken broth mixture and boil for 2 to 4 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from the heat and swirl the beaten eggs slowly into the soup, forming cooked egg strands. Top with the sliced scallions and serve.
Notes
For a heartier soup, add an extra can of creamed corn or some boiled wonton noodles.
