Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 6 oz (175 grams) chicken breast or ground chicken, chicken thigh, skinless, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 can creamy sweet corn
  • 3 dashes white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • Cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  • Mix corn starch and water in a small bowl; stir well and set aside.
  • Add chicken broth and water to a soup pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and add chicken breast into the soup. (If using ground chicken, break up the chicken into small pieces with a fork before cooking.) Skim off the foam on the surface. Continue cooking the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes until cooked through.
  • Add the creamy sweet corn, white pepper, and salt and thicken the soup with cornstarch mixture. (Gently stir the cornstarch mixture before adding to the soup.) Stir the soup with a ladle and turn off the heat.
  • Swirl the beaten eggs into the soup and immediately stir a few times with a pair of chopsticks. Cover the pot with a lid for 2 minutes. The eggs should be cooked and will form into silken threads.
  • Dish out and serve immediately with cilatro leaves on top.
