Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can cream style corn (or creamed corn)
  • 2.5 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon or equivalent
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten

Instructions

  • Combine cream of corn, water, and chicken bouillon in a medium sized pot (2-quarts or larger) and cook on medium heat until it boils and bubbles (approximately 8-10 minutes).
  • Beat 2 eggs in a small bowl with a fork and use the fork to stir the soup to loosen up any corn pieces at the bottom until the soup is swirling in the pot. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the swirling soup and stir the soup to prevent the eggs from forming large clumps.

Notes

It's also versatile if you want to add some cooked rice, cooked chicken, cooked veggies, cubed tofu, etc. to make a simple soup into a hearty meal.
You can also personalize the soup with a few drops of sesame oil, a dash of white pepper, and/or chopped scallions.
