The ingredients for Sweet Corn Chicken Soup are:

1 quart (4 cups) home-made chicken broth (or low-sodium broth if you're buying a packaged version
1 can creamed corn (the no-name brands tend to be hit-and-miss in my experience: I like the Green Giant brand myself for texture and actual corn-to-starch ratio)
1/2 cup chicken breast, shredded
1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 small egg, beaten
1 tsp corn starch
1/2 cup cold water
1 scallion (green part only), cut into fine rings

Here is how you make Sweet Corn Chicken Soup:

-Heat the broth on medium heat, together with the shredded chicken breast and mushrooms (I find shiitake mushrooms too strong for this soup, so I tend to use plain white mushrooms)- Add the canned corn and the frozen corn and cook until the frozen corn is tender (a few minutes)- Taste the soup and add a tiny bit of sugar if and only if you really want it a little sweeter - the canned corn is usually sweet enough for me, but the kids seem to like it sweeter- Turn the heat to low, add the beaten egg in a steady stream, stirring constantly with a fork or chopstick so you get soft threads of egg (if you don't stir, you may wind up with clumps of egg - not very appetizing)- Stir the corn starch into the cold water and mix well.- Add the corn starch mixture to the soup and stirServe piping hot, garnished with scallion rings. I usually will set out soy sauce, chili oil and chilies in vinegar as accompaniments - my family and friends can add whichever they wish, although I find this soup quite delicious without any accompaniments at all.Serving Size: 4Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BIGGIRL2082010.
