Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by cooking chicken breast until fully done. Shred the chicken using two forks into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a large soup pot, pour the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add the drained corn kernels to the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 minutes to warm through.
- Stir in the cooked rice and shredded chicken, allowing the ingredients to heat together for 5 minutes.
- Season the soup with soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for balanced flavor.
- Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Remove from heat and let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with freshly sliced green onions just before serving for added freshness and color.
- Serve hot in deep bowls, ensuring each serving has a good mix of chicken, rice, and corn.
Tips
- Use freshly cooked chicken for the best texture and flavor. If possible, poach the chicken breast in the broth for extra flavor infusion.
- For a richer soup, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
- Adjust the soy sauce gradually and taste as you go to control the saltiness of the soup.
- To make the soup more substantial, you can add additional vegetables like diced carrots or mushrooms.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the soup during the last few minutes of cooking.
- For added depth, consider adding a small amount of sesame oil or ginger when seasoning the soup.
- Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and often tastes even better the next day as flavors continue to meld.
