If you want to make the perfect Sweet Corn Chicken Soup, here are some tips that will come in handy. Firstly, cut the chicken breast into thin strips for a better texture. Secondly, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar if you are using light soy sauce because Worcestershire sauce already contains vinegar. In this recipe, I have used store-bought canned cream-style sweet corn. Finally, add the beaten egg slowly through a stainless steel filter by using a spoon, which will form into thin white threads in the soup. Gently mix for a minute and turn off the heat. Serve this delicious soup with some chopped green onions.
