2 cups (500ml) chicken or vegetable broth/stock

1 can (16oz/420g) creamed corn

1 tsp soy sauce (all purpose or light)

1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (OR Mirin or Dry Sherry (can omit)

Instructions

Place broth, creamed corn, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, ginger, garlic and cornflour / water mixture in a saucepan over high heat.

Bring to boil, then turn down the heat to medium and stir occasionally. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Adjust seasoning with salt, turn off heat, and slowly whisk in the egg so it cooks in "ribbons" throughout the soup. This also thickens the soup.
