Corn & Egg Drop Soup
This is the accompanying soup when I made the Chinese braised ribs last week when the Clone was sick. This was all she had of that meal which was a good thing because her dad just about devoured all the ribs!
Anyway, this is a very simple recipe and all you really need is a good, flavorful chicken broth. Luckily, I had plenty of homemade frozen chicken broth. Of course, a good canned broth will work too.
- 6 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 can of Cream Corn
- 1 cup Frozen Corn
- 3 Eggs, beaten
- 2 stalks Green Onions, sliced
- ¼ cup Cornstarch, dissolved in water
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- Combine chicken broth, cream corn and frozen corn and bring to a boil.
- Slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry until the soup starts to thicken. You don’t have to put it all. If it seems thick enough for your liking, stop.
- Slowly drizzle in the beaten egg, stirring slowly while doing so to create nice ribbon like threads of egg.
- Adjust your seasonings and serve with a sprinkling of green onions on top.

I am a terrible housekeeper but I do love to cook so it all evens out in the end. I like to try new recipes that I think my family will like. However, I am not one to follow all recipes to the letter. I tend to tweak and change the recipes based on what I have on hand and how I am feeling at the time. Feel free to share your versions, I just might try it out next time I make the dish again.

This creamy egg-drop corn soup is a regular in Chinese households. I grew up drinking this stuff. We actually refer to it as just “Corn Soup” in ChineseThe egg makes it almost like an egg drop soup and the cream corn makes the consistency savory. While waiting for the broth and corn to boil, whisk the egg with a pinch of salt and set a side.
