recipe instructions: Prepare the chicken, corn, and eggs
  type: HowToStep
  text: Shred cooked chicken into small bite-size pieces so it warms quickly in the soup. Drain canned corn or measure frozen corn straight from the freezer. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water in a separate bowl.
recipe instructions: Simmer the stock with ginger
  type: HowToStep
  text: Pour the stock into a saucepan and add ginger if using. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, then lower the heat so the surface moves but does not boil aggressively. Simmer for 2 minutes to flavor the broth.
recipe instructions: Warm the chicken and corn
  type: HowToStep
  text: Add the shredded chicken and corn. Stir and simmer until everything is hot, about 3 to 4 minutes. If using raw chicken instead of cooked chicken, simmer thin pieces until no pink remains and the center reaches 165 F / 74 C.
recipe instructions: Lightly thicken the soup
  type: HowToStep
  text: Stir the cornstarch slurry again, then drizzle it into the simmering soup while stirring. Wait 30 to 60 seconds for the broth to turn glossy. If it looks too thick, add a splash of water or stock; it should still be spoonable like soup.
recipe instructions: Add the egg ribbons
  type: HowToStep
  text: Keep the soup at a low simmer. Pour the beaten egg in a thin stream while gently stirring in one direction. The egg should turn pale yellow and float in soft ribbons. Avoid hard boiling after the egg goes in, or the texture can become rough.
recipe instructions: Season and serve
  type: HowToStep
  text: Remove the ginger slices if you do not want to eat them. Stir in soy sauce, white pepper, sesame oil if using, and green onion. Taste carefully and add a little salt only if needed. Serve hot while the corn is sweet and the egg is tender.

about: Ginger
mentions: Frozen corn is the easiest year-round choice and does not need thawing before it goes into the soup.
mentions: Rotisserie chicken or leftover roast chicken works well if added after the broth starts simmering.
mentions: Use vegetable stock and tofu instead of chicken for a meat-free corn soup.
mentions: Use canned creamed corn for a sweeter, thicker version; reduce the cornstarch by half.
mentions: Cooked chicken: Rotisserie chicken, Poached chicken breast, Chicken thigh. Add cooked chicken just long enough to warm it. Raw chicken must simmer until fully cooked.
