How do you make chinese style thick sweetcorn soup?

Question

mostly in chinese buffet restaraunts

Answer 1

chinese corn soup

Ingredients  

Chicken broth (I use 2 large Campbell's tetra packs, homemade would be better)

1 large can Cream Corn (or 1 cup corn - see note in directions)

1 small pkg crab / pollock or shredded cooked chicken breast

Dash Tabasco sauce

2 egg whites

Directions  

Pour chicken broth into large pot

Add corn

Heat to boiling

Add crab/pollock/chicken, breaking up into small pieces

Add dash of Tabasco sauce (to your taste)

Keeping soup at gentle rolling boil, dribble in egg white in small amounts

When egg whites have cooked, serve

Note that if you prefer clear soup, substitute cream corn with 1 cup of corn niblets - but the cream corn adds delicious flavour.

Answer 3

For me I to like a vegetarian one, I use a veggie broth mix from Poland and make it up, add some sugar or natural sweetener, and while I use cream corn (there is not dairy in it), I also use a can of kernel corn, green onions, thicken it with a cornstarch slurry, if you want to liven it up, I have use soya milk or yougart, if you use soya sauce use a light type, even some chopped onions and garlic.

Most chinese places only use a bit of stock, thicken it add a can of Crm Corn, green onions and some chopped chicken or either fresh crab meat or the artifccal surimi, but for me why add meat to a veg soup??
