Its roots can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, where it was often served as a nutritious meal for peasants. Over time, the soup has evolved, and today, it's a popular dish that you can find in many Chinese restaurants worldwide.

Tips and Tricks: Making the perfect Chinese Corn Soup may look simple, but there are a few tips and tricks that can help you achieve that mouth-watering taste. Firstly, it's essential to use good quality chicken broth and cream-style corn as they form the base of the soup. Secondly, cornstarch is used to thicken the soup, so it's crucial to add it slowly and stir continuously to avoid clumps. Lastly, adding the beaten egg gradually while stirring can make the soup creamier and more delicious.

You can serve the soup in small bowls or cups, garnished with chopped green onions, cilantro, or parsley, which can add color and texture to the dish.
