Let us now see how we can make this yummy corn soup with eggs at home. Since it is an egg-based version and chicken broth will not be used in it, we can use the canned juice that comes along with the corn. When you open the can of corn, do not discard the juice. Keep half of it as it is and blend half of your corn a little in the remaining juice. This way of using corn juice tastes better in an eggcorn soup rather than using plain water which gives a bland taste.
Chicken broth is not used because of the vegetarian version of this soup. However, if you are OK with the chicken stock, you can replace the corn juice with chicken stock.
You will not need a lot of ingredients since corn soup is simple to make. The ingredients are listed below:
Ingredients
¾ liter clean water
½ can of corn juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4th teaspoon sugar
1 can of sweet corn
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
2-3 tablespoons of sesame oil
1 spring onion
1/4th teaspoon salt ( to be mixed with eggs)
Method
- Open the can of corn and mix half of the corn with 3/4 liter of water. In a food processor, blend the corn with water to make the basic sauce of corn soup. Also, add the corn juice into it before blending.
- Chop the remaining corns in medium chunks.
- Now bring the juice to boil and then add the corns into it. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes until the corns become a little soft. Also, add salt and sugar at this stage.
- Now break the eggs, whisk them and add 1/4th teaspoon of salt.
- Add the eggs and keep stirring with the spoon in one direction.
- Now dissolve the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water until a smooth mixture is formed. Add this liquid into the soup and keep stirring. Cook for another 3 minutes or until the desired consistency is achieved.

Tips and Tricks
