Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g boneless, skinless chicken, diced
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or canned)
  • 4 cup chicken stock
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1-inch piece ginger, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soya sauce
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 tbsp cornflour, dissolved in water
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Salt and black pepper to taste
  • vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Sauté Aromatics
    Begin by heating vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot,add the minced garlic and julienned ginger, and sauté them until they become fragrant, which should take approximately 1 to 2 minutes. This initial step infuses the oil with the aromatic flavors of garlic and ginger, laying the foundation for the rich and flavorful soup.
  • Step 2: Cook Chicken
    Next, add the diced chicken breast to the pot and cook it until it's browned on all sides, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. This process should take about 5 to 7 minutes. The browning of the chicken adds depth of flavor to the soup, while the tender chunks of chicken provide protein and heartiness, making the soup a satisfying meal option.
  • Step 3: Simmer Soup
    Once the chicken is browned, pour in the chicken stock, soya sauce, and vinegar, stirring gently to combine everything. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to meld together beautifully. This slow simmering process allows the soup to develop its rich and complex flavor profile.
  • Step 4: Add Corn
    After the soup has simmered for a while, it's time to add the sweet corn kernels. Simply pour them into the pot and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the corn to heat through and soften slightly, adding a touch of sweetness and texture to the soup. The sweet corn kernels complement the savory flavors of the soup, creating a delightful balance of tastes and textures.
  • Step 5: Incorporate Eggs
    Slowly pour the beaten egg into the simmering soup in a steady stream, while stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks. This technique creates delicate ribbons of egg throughout the soup, adding richness and texture. Continue stirring for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the egg is fully cooked and incorporated into the soup, creating a creamy and luscious texture.
  • Step 6: Thicken Soup
    To thicken the soup and achieve the desired consistency, mix the cornflour paste into the soup, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the soup to simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until it reaches your preferred thickness. This step ensures that the soup has a smooth and velvety texture, perfect for slurping up with a spoon.
  • Step 7: Season to Taste
    Finally, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to incorporate the seasoning evenly throughout the soup, ensuring a well-balanced flavor profile. Garnish the soup with finely chopped green onions for a pop of freshness and color, and serve hot. Enjoy the comforting warmth and flavorful goodness of Pakistani Chicken Corn Soup with each spoonful.

  • Customize the soup by adding additional vegetables or protein of your choice.
