Health Benefits of Corn: 

• Corn is rich in antioxidants and has several health benefits.
• It contains B vitamins, which are important to your overall health.
• Also, it aids digestion as it is high in fiber content.
• Many essential minerals such as copper, iron, zinc, magnesium, and manganese are present in Corn.
• Since, it is a good source of zeaxanthin, it is supposed to improve eye health.

The sweetness of the corn and succulent chicken is an irresistible combo in my opinion! I used fresh corn and don’t recommend canned corn unless you don’t get fresh corn cob in market. I find the flavor and texture of fresh corn to be a lot better than canned ones. You can also try with frozen corn kernels. The trick to restaurant style soup is to cream half of the corn kernels to get a creamy consistency and the whole corn kernels provides added appeal.

Step by step Method for Sweet Corn Chicken Soup:

1. First, let us make the Chicken broth/ stock. Take bony parts of the chicken, wings, legs etc. to make the broth.
2. Pressure cook with salt, garlic, crushed ginger, cubed onion, spices, cubed carrot, celery, pepper, soy sauce, vinegar and 6 cups water for around half hour to 1 hour on low heat.
3. Once it cools down, take out the chicken pieces, shred the meat and keep aside.
4. Strain the chicken broth and discard the veggies and chicken bones.

5. Remove Corn Kernels from the cob. If you are using frozen corn, wash well. If you are using canned sweet corn, avoid these steps.
6. Cook the corn in 1 cup water with 1 ½ tsp sugar (add more if you like it sweeter) and ½ tsp salt.
7. Keep aside ½ cup corn Kernels and grind the rest with left over sweet water to a smooth paste.
8. Chop the spring onions.
9. Make a thick corn slurry by adding little water to the corn flour.

10. Bring the broth to a boil.
11. Add the corn paste and mix well.
12. Then add whole corn kernels and shredded Chicken.
13. Next, add the spring onion whites.
14. Pour Corn flour slurry to the broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, to thicken the soup.
15. Adjust the salt, sugar and pepper as per your taste.
16. Beat an egg or use two egg whites; add it to the simmering soup through a strainer and stir in clockwise direction.
17. You will get a marble effect. If you like ribbon like egg texture, add egg in intervals stirring slowly and allow to cook and form ribbons.
18. Switch off heat and add Spring Onion greens.

Serve hot and enjoy!
