Egg Drop Soup with Chicken and Corn

Ingredients 

4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp chicken bouillon
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground ginger
⅛ tsp white pepper
¼ tsp turmeric (optional)
1 cup corn2 eggs, whisked
½ tsp sesame oil
1 green onion, sliced
Chicken

1 chicken Breast or Leftover BBQ Chicken
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp water
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp oil
Cornstarch Slurry

2 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water


Method 
Thinly slice chicken against the grain. Then in a bowl, mix the chicken with corn starch, water, salt, and oil. This helps to keep the chicken tender. Set aside.

In a pot on medium heat, add chicken broth, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, ground ginger, white pepper, and optional turmeric for colour. Mix together, taste test and adjust to your liking. 

Bring the pot of broth to a boil then add in the chicken and corn. Stir to break up the pieces of chicken so they don't stick together.

In a small bowl, mix together corn starch and water to create a slurry. Then pour the corn starch slurry slowly into the broth while stirring at the same time to evenly thicken the soup.

Lower the heat to a gentle simmer then pour the whisked eggs slowly into the broth. Gently stir in a circular motion, in the same direction, to create thin silky egg ribbons.

Turn off the heat then add sesame oil and green onions. Mix it all together and enjoy!
