This comforting variation elevates the classic egg drop soup by adding sweet cream-style corn and tender shredded chicken. It mimics the popular appetizer served in many Chinese restaurants, offering a perfect balance of savory broth and natural sweetness.
In a medium pot, combine the chicken broth and grated ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in the cream-style corn and cooked chicken. Let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes to heat everything through.
Stir in the soy sauce and white pepper.
Give the cornstarch and water mixture a quick stir, then pour it into the soup while stirring constantly. Simmer for another minute until the soup thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low. While slowly stirring the soup in a circular motion, drizzle the beaten eggs in a thin stream to create beautiful egg ribbons.
Remove from heat immediately. Stir in the sesame oil and taste for salt.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
