There is nothing quite like a big bowl of chicken corn soup on a chilly day. It is one of those classic recipes that feels like a hug in a bowl, combining tender shredded chicken with the natural sweetness of corn.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how simple it is to prepare. If you have some leftover rotisserie chicken on hand, you can have this soup ready for dinner in no time. Adding a little splash of soy sauce really brings out the savory depth of the broth.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 cups sweet corn kernels
4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Pour the chicken broth into a large pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2
Stir in the shredded chicken and the sweet corn kernels.
3
Add the soy sauce and let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors blend together.
4
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot while stirring constantly to thicken the broth slightly.
5
Turn the heat down to low, then slowly pour in the beaten eggs in a thin stream while stirring the soup in one direction to create silky egg ribbons.
6
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sesame oil.
7
Season with salt and pepper to your liking, then serve hot with a garnish of green onions.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When you reheat it, add a tiny splash of water if the soup has thickened too much. It tastes wonderful served alongside some crispy spring rolls.
