If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Classic ‘hot & sour’ soup. Though you can certainly add chicken, pork or whatever you like, we’ve made this with only shiitakes & tofu…but you won’t miss the meat, trust me. Serves 4
Ingredients
1/4 cup finely diced smoked ham
1 teaspoon canola oil
One 15 ounce can creamed corn
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoons soy sauce
1 egg, beaten
Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
2 green onions, finely diced
Directions
Cook ham with oil in a small pan until crispy - set a side
In medium saucepan bring corn and chicken broth to a low simmer
In small bowl mix corn starch & water until smooth, and stir into the broth, let simmer about 5 minutes
While stirring corn broth in a circular direction, pour in the egg from several inches above the pot in a very slow stream (while stirring) to create ribbons
Stir in soy, sauce and salt & pepper to taste - simmer a couple minutes
