How to Make Simple Corn Soup with Canned Corn
Learn how to easily make a smooth and delicious corn soup at home using just canned corn. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast, a comforting snack, or for kids. Enjoy the delightful pop of corn kernels and its rich, toasty flavor.
Main Ingredients- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
Additional Ingredients- 3 egg whites
- 3 egg whites
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, add 3-4 cups of water (or water mixed with 1 tsp chicken stock powder if using). Add the drained canned corn and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook to extract the natural sweetness from the corn.
Step 2
Once the corn mixture is simmering, stir in 1 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of salt. Adjust seasoning to your preference; the balance of sweet and savory is key.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the cornstarch slurry (mix 3 Tbsp cornstarch with 3 Tbsp water) while stirring continuously. Continue to cook until the soup reaches your desired thickness. If it becomes too thick, you can add a little more water.
Step 4
While the soup is simmering and has thickened, prepare the 3 egg whites. Discard the yolks; only the whites are needed.
Step 5
Gently drizzle the egg whites over the simmering soup. Use a fork or whisk to lightly stir them in, creating delicate strands. Be careful not to stir too vigorously, as this can make the soup cloudy.
Step 6
The soup is ready when the egg whites are cooked through and appear as white, fluffy ribbons floating in the soup. Ensure the egg whites are fully cooked.
Step 7
Your smooth and wonderfully savory corn soup is complete! Serve warm for the best experience. Enjoy this delightful homemade soup!
