This is a lovely Asian style soup with corn, egg, ham and sesame oil. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups fat-free chicken broth |
1/2 cup water |
1 inch fresh ginger, cut in 2-4 pieces |
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can creamed corn |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) |
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup cold water |
4 ounces turkey ham, finely diced |
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil |
1 egg white, slightly beaten |
Directions:
1. Combine broth, water and slices of fresh ginger over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Bring to slow boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
2. Remove ginger chunks.
3. Add corn (and cayenne if using) and heat to boil.
4. Meanwhile combine cornstarch and cold water.
5. Add cornstarch mixture to soup and boil for a few minutes until soup has thickened.
6. Add ham and heat through - shouldn't take long since its finely diced.
7. Remove from heat. Add sesame oil and then SLOWLY add egg white while stirring. Adding the egg white slowly will help create a pretty ribbon effect.
