Easy Chinese Corn Soup
"You won't even bother ordering this soup from a Chinese restaurant anymore, this is so easy to make and very good! For a thicker soup use more cornstarch, I like to add in some sesame oil also and if I am serving this to guests I also add in a few drops of yellow food colouring for a nicer presentation."

as always when you see Kittencal you know it is going to be a winner and this is no exception. The flavor is nice a sutle and the time it takes to make is really the best part. It is also made with all things that I have on hand. -
Eactly what I was looking for. Very easy to make. I didn't have frozen corn, so added a can or corn kernals (not cream of corn) in addition to two cans of cream of corn. I didn't have corn starch so thickened with a little flour mixed into water and it worked perfectly. To get ribbons, just slowly pour in eggs (very slow) and use a wisk to mix soup quickly as you pour eggs in. Thanks for the recipe.

I have made this soup a few times and it’s easy to tweak. I never have a supply of broth so use water and stock cubes. I’ve also not had creamed corn so used tinned corn kernels and blended before adding egg. And last time I left our cornflour mix as my daughter didn’t want so thick. It’s still thick enough anyway and always tastes delicious.
