Chinese Sweetcorn & Crab Soup

[Honeyoc]

Serves 4
1 syn per serve on EE

Small piece of ginger, finely chopped
150g crab meat (or shredded cooked chicken)
2 tsp cornflour (2 syns)
3 tbsps water
3 cups (750ml) chicken stock (I just made it up with 2 knorr chicken stock pots + water)
1 x 375g can creamed style corn
2 ears fresh corn on the cob (or 1 x 340g can sweetcorn, drained)
1 tsp light soy sauce (don't be tempted to add more, remember the stock is salty)
1/2 tsp sugar (0.5 syn)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp sesame oil (1 syn)
2 spring onions, finely sliced
2 egg whites

In a small bowl stir the chopped ginger into the crab meat, set aside

In another small bowl mix the cornflour with 3 tbsps water, set aside

Bring the chicken stock to a boil (or water and stock pots, stir until dissolved)

If using fresh corn, cut the niblets off the corn cob running the knife along the length of the corn. Add the sweetcorn, creamed corn, soy sauce, sugar and black pepper. Stir and allow to boil for a few minutes, lower heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes

Add the crab meat (or chicken) & ginger and stir

Add the cornflour mixture and stir well to thicken. It won't be super thick

Drizzle in the egg whites and stir with a fork to form streams of cooked egg white

Remove from heat, stir in sesame oil and spring onions

Serve immediately. So delicious and warming!!

Mmmmm, sounds lovely, might do some with fish/veg stock instead. Where did you get the creamed sweet corn from?

 

[Honeyoc]

I got it from Waitrose, but I think you can get it anywhere. It was the Green Giant brand and I've seen it everywhere!

Yum! This has reminded me about the chicken and sweetcorn soup I make...must make it again soon Yours looks lovely though! For the person who was asking...I've only ever been able to find creamed corn in Morrisons, never in Tesco or Asda

 

[xJoanneJJx]

I generally buy my creamed corn from Asda- Green Giant brand

Hi Honey

Just looking at the recipe again, and wondered if it is allowed on EE as there doesn't appear to be enough super free food? I am hoping I am wrong though as it looks mighty delicious
