Cream Corn Soup
Made with homemade chicken broth, this is a "thin" soup, designed to take the place of a beverage at the dinner table. You can thicken it by mixing in two eggs or two egg whites before serving.
List of Ingredients
5 - 6 cups chicken stock (see my How to Make Chicken Stock)
1 can creamed corn
4 ounces chicken meat (optional)*
1 chopped green onion**
Salt - to tasteRecipe
Prepare chicken stock. If not using the stock immediately, let cool, and then store in a plastic container in the refrigerator or the freezer.
Bring stock to a boil. Add 4 tablespoons of water to the chicken meat (if it is being used) and mix well. Stir the creamed corn and chicken meat into the soup. You will know the chicken is cooked when the meat turns white. Add salt to taste and bring the soup to a boil again. Remove the soup from the heat, and add green onions. If desired, add 2 eggs or egg whites.
Variations
* You can substitute other meat, such as ham.
**If you are preparing the soup for someone who is ill, try adding a couple of slices of ginger. Among its many benefits, ginger is believed to be helpful in treating colds and flue.
***For added flavor, drizzle with sesame oil just before serving.
