Provided by Maggie Zhu

Categories     Main     Side

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 green onion (, chopped)
1/2 pound (200 grams) ground chicken ((or ground turkey))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or Japanese sake) ((Optional))
1 teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
2 cups chicken stock ((*see footnote 1))
1 to 2 cups frozen corn ((*see footnote 2))
1/4 cup frozen peas ((Optional))
2 tablespoons potato starch
3 eggs (or 4 egg whites, beaten)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a big pot until warm. Add ginger and white part of green onion. Stir a few times until fragrant.
  • Add ground chicken. Stir and cook until the surface turns white. Add sake and salt. Keep cooking until the chicken is almost cooked through.
  • Add chicken stock and 2 cups water. Turn to high heat. Cook until bringing to a boil. Add frozen corn and peas. Continue to cook until bringing to a boil again.
  • While boiling the soup, combine potato starch with 1/4 cup water in a small bowl.
  • Skim the foam from top of the soup if you want it to look prettier (optional). Turn off heat.
  • Swirl potato starch slurry into the soup. Mix well.
  • Put a spatula (or a fork) against one end of the bowl with the egg in it. Slowly drizzle egg into the soup in a swirling motion.
  • Mix the soup again and taste it with a small spoon (be careful, the soup is very hot!). If the soup is not as thick as you'd like, mix a bit more potato starch slurry and add it into the soup. Add more salt to adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve warm.

CHINESE CHICKEN AND CORN SOUP



Chinese Chicken and Corn Soup image

Recipe video above. This is a very quick to make soup that is one of all my all time favourites, it's thick, creamy (but with no cream!), sweet from the corn, hearty and soul warming. I've been known to add greens to it, my favourite being chinese broccoli and broccolini, to make it a complete meal. Though this recipe is made with chicken, it is easily made vegetarian/vegan by omitting the chicken. Watch the cooking videoto see how this is made without using a chopping board!

EASY CHINESE CORN SOUP



Easy Chinese Corn Soup image

You won't even bother ordering this soup from a Chinese restaurant anymore, this is so easy to make and very good! For a thicker soup use more cornstarch, I like to add in some sesame oil also and if I am serving this to guests I also add in a few drops of yellow food colouring for a nicer presentation.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen corn. Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn works well too. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using.
  • Don't overcook the corn. The corn should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch to it. Overcooked corn will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. The chicken broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add some vegetables. Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and nutrition to the soup. You can also add other vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Chinese creamy corn soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn. To make the soup, you start by cooking the corn in a pot of boiling water. Once the corn is tender, you remove it from the pot and set it aside. Then, you add the butter, onion, and celery to the pot and cook them until they are softened. Next, you add the flour and cook it for a minute or two, stirring constantly. Then, you slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook it for 10 minutes, or until it has thickened. Finally, you add the corn back to the pot and heat it through. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
