Our version of the popular Chinese restaurant favorite: Velvety Corn Soup, is close as can be to the traditional. Serve it with crunchy Chinese noodles just like they do in the restaurants.
What You'll Need
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cans (14¾ ounces each) creamed corn
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
What to Do
- In a large saucepan, combine the chicken broth, creamed corn, and pepper; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch until smooth.
- Add to the broth mixture and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Swirl the beaten egg slowly into the soup, forming thin strands.
- Top with the sliced scallions and serve.
- NOTE: Yes, it's okay to make the soup in advance and simply reheat when ready to serve.
