Tips to Make Corn Soup
This soup recipe is a delightful adaptation of Chinese corn soup, tailored to suit Pakistani flavors. Here are some valuable tips I've gathered from experimenting with various versions of this dish.
- Ensure the soup maintains a balanced consistency—not too thick or too thin.
- The hue of the soup greatly influences its attractiveness, with soy sauce being the key ingredient that determines this color.
- Always strain the chicken stock before pouring it into the soup for a clearer texture.
- Pay attention to the quantity of corn flour, as it determines the soup's texture. Incorporate it slowly to achieve the perfect consistency.
- Since soya sauce is inherently salty, adjust the salt accordingly when seasoning the soup.
- Adding vinegar can introduce a sour note, so use it sparingly based on your preference.
- When adding egg drops, stir the pan continuously for a few seconds to prevent the eggs from clumping together.
How to Serve Chicken Corn Soup
The ultimate chicken soup serving is enhanced with vinegar chilies, chili sauce, and dark soy sauce. Prefer to serve in small bowls alongside a larger bowl of chicken corn soup for a delightful meal experience.
If you intend to serve chicken corn soup as main course then add these sides to make it more tempting:
Storing Leftover Soup
- Refrigerator: Keep your leftover soup in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It will remain fresh for about 2 to 3 days.
- Freezer: Alternatively, you can freeze your soup in a sealed container for as long as 15 days to one month. When you're ready to enjoy it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. If you plan to freeze the soup, be sure to omit any eggs.
Can We Reheat The Soup?
Yes, you can reheat the soup a multiple times. If it gets thick then you can add little water to manage the consistency. Reheat on medium heat until it gets hot and bubbling.
How Long Can We Use The Soup?
If the soup is in form of chicken stock then you can refrigerate it for 1 or 2 weeks but if you have added eggs in stock then try to consume within 2 days.
