\u201cCorn Chicken Soup from Scratch\u201d is a recipe I developed\u00a0 20 years ago after having it at a Chinese restaurant. I asked the cook back then how he made it, and as any restaurant he didn\u2019t spill his secret, but was kind enough to give me a rough idea. I played around, tested and refined the recipe to my satisfaction, I had to test three versions back then, one including fresh ginger, another one with sesame oil, until I settled on this straight forward version that impressed family, friends and guests, sometimes simple is best, maybe not the classic Chinese Corn Chicken Soup, but sure to say that it is a huge hit and a crowd pleaser in terms of quality and quantity!<\/p>\n

If you want really an amazing corn chicken soup, start with a whole raw chicken to make the broth! This may sound laborious, but it can be a very easy process if you break down the work, believe me making your own broth makes all the difference in flavor. Take the time to make the broth from scratch and you\u2019ll never be able to make it another way again! Once the chicken is cooked and broth is ready, the soup can be made in 15 minutes.\u00a0For a time saving strategy, cook the chicken one day ahead, let it cool down, then save it with its broth in the fridge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a little over 2 hour\u2019s cooking time, you can have a flavorful golden broth and a chicken that\u2019s fall off the bone. Both chicken and broth would create a sublime base to our corn and chicken soup \u2014\u00a0nothing equates to homemade broth!<\/strong><\/p>\n
