Best Chinese Corn And Mushroom Soup Recipes

CHINESE CORN SOUP (鸡蛋玉米羹)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a big pot until warm. Add ginger and white part of green onion. Stir a few times until fragrant.
• Add ground chicken. Stir and cook until the surface turns white. Add sake and salt. Keep cooking until the chicken is almost cooked through.
• Add chicken stock and 2 cups water. Turn to high heat. Cook until bringing to a boil. Add frozen corn and peas. Continue to cook until bringing to a boil again.
• While boiling the soup, combine potato starch with 1/4 cup water in a small bowl.
• Skim the foam from top of the soup if you want it to look prettier (optional). Turn off heat.
• Swirl potato starch slurry into the soup. Mix well.
• Put a spatula (or a fork) against one end of the bowl with the egg in it. Slowly drizzle egg into the soup in a swirling motion.
• Mix the soup again and taste it with a small spoon (be careful, the soup is very hot!). If the soup is not as thick as you'd like, mix a bit more potato starch slurry and add it into the soup. Add more salt to adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Serve warm.

CHINESE CORN-AND-MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• In a pot, bring broth and 2 cups water to a boil. Meanwhile, slice corn from cobs and set aside; add cobs to pot. Remove and discard shiitake stems; cut caps in half (into quarters, if large) and add to pot. Thinly slice scallions and add white and light-green parts to pot, reserving dark-green tops. Grate ginger directly into pot. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes.
• Remove cobs from pot. Add corn kernels and tofu. Stir, breaking tofu into bite-size pieces; simmer 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, sambal oelek, and oil. Serve, with scallion tops, drizzled with more sambal oelek and oil.

EASY CHINESE CORN SOUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the cream style corn and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Gradually add the beaten egg while stirring the soup. Remove from heat and serve.

CREAMY CORN AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• In a 4-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes, or until fragrant and soft. Add the corn, salt, and water, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the corn is very tender. Remove from the heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes before proceeding.
• Position a coarse-mesh sieve on top of another saucepan. In batches, purée the soup in a blender or food processor until velvety smooth. Pour each puréed batch through the sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Add the mushrooms and set the soup aside until ready to serve. (The soup may be made up to 2 days in advance, cooled, and refrigerated.)
• Reheat the soup over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. If the soup is too thick, thin it with water. Taste and add extra salt, if necessary. Ladle the soup into a large serving bowl or individual bowls. Sprinkle with the chives and serve immediately.
