Sweet Corn Soup



When I was in school we used to spend our summer vacation in Chennai. During the vacation we'll never forget to have a dinner in a chinese restuarant. No matter how many soups they serve, I'll always order Sweet Corn Chicken Soup. Till now I do the same. I can have a bowl of soup anytime, never mind the climate is hot or cold. I love soups.... Talking about this recipe, this is a semi-homemade soup and a quick one too.

Ingredients

Vegetable or Chicken Broth - 2 cups
Cream Style corn - 1 cup
Egg - 1
Pepper - 1 teaspoon
Corn flour - 1 teasppon (Optional)

To make vegetable Broth: Pressure cook the desired veggies in 2 cups of water. Don use beetroot. Mash the veggies and strain it. Or you can just use the remaining water as broth.

Boil the broth with corn and pepper. If you are using store bought broth, dont add salt because those broth are high in sodium. When it boils, turn off the heat. Beat the eggs and pour into the soup in a thin string. If you like to thicken your soup, then mix corn flour in water and add.

YOu can add cooked noodles, chicken. Its upto your taste. If you entertain a huge crowd, try this. This is really easy and simple.
