Chicken corn soup is a popular and hearty soup made with chicken, corn, and other vegetables. The dish is popular in many parts of the world, including China, Pakistan, and the United States. It typically involves simmering chicken and vegetables in a flavorful broth, then adding corn and other ingredients to create a creamy and filling soup.
To make chicken corn soup, diced or shredded chicken is cooked in a broth made from chicken stock and various aromatics such as garlic and ginger. Corn, typically in the form of canned or fresh kernels, is added along with other vegetables such as carrots, peas, and onions. Some variations may also include egg or other ingredients.
To add richness and creaminess, a mixture of cornstarch and water is added to thicken the soup. Finally, beaten eggs are added in a slow, steady stream, while stirring constantly, to create delicate, feathery strands in the soup. The soup is often garnished with fresh herbs such as cilantro or green onions before serving.
