This is my mum's recipe of chicken corn soup. When I used to come back home from hostel, my mum would make this delicious comforting chicken corn soup. It would uplift me spiritually and physically. Its like medicine healing me with every hot bowl.
Well, I still can't make it taste exactly the same as my mum's but I will share her recipe with you.
In a pot, saute chicken strips in 1 tbsp oil with garlic and ginger on medium heat. Saute for 5 mins or more till completely cooked. Remove from pot and keep aside.
In the same pot, add chicken stock, corn, chicken stock cubes, chicken strips, oats, salt and pepper.
After the soup starts boiling, add cornflour and stir. When the soup thickens, pour in the blended eggs slowly into the pot. Stir quickly so that the egg scatters in the soup.
Turn off the stove and add the spring onions. Give it a stir.
Serve hot with crotons. Enjoy!
