Sweet Corn Chicken Soup
Take a nice piece of chicken breast piece and insert into a pot of chicken stock(you can make your own stock or buy any store bought chicken stock-use the cubes) Please remember store-bought cubes have salt in it so do avoid adding any extra salt. Let the chicken cook thoroughly in the stock, then extract it out with the help of your tongs and shred it well and keep aside. In the now flavoured stock that has been boiling, add in your lightly pulsed American corn kernels.
You can add in a quarter tsp. of chilly vinegar,soy sauce and a wee bit of sesame oil as well. As the corn cooks through, add in lightly crushed ginger and garlic(you can avoid if you find it spicy for the kids) You can also add a finely chopped green chilly for the adults. Now slide in your shredded chicken and mix it all about and check for seasoning. If you find anything less add accordingly, if you feel it is too spicy add a little bit more of hot water,if you want it sweeter, add a little bit of sweet and sour tomato sauce.
To thicken the soup, take a little bit of cornflour and mix it thoroughly in a tbsp. of water without lumps forming and mix it along with the hot soup.
The soup is finished with an egg that has been whisked thoroughly and mixed into the soup while stirring it on a low flame. You must continuously stir it otherwise you will not get those threads of egg in your soup. Garnish with finely chopped spring onions and fresh pepper.
Have it hot with soup sticks or before starting your dinner.
