Sweet Corn Chicken Soup

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Broth and Corn:
   • Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring to a simmer.
   • Stir in the frozen corn and drained sweet corn.
3. Add Chicken and Season:
   • Stir in the shredded or diced chicken.
   • Add soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
4. Thicken Soup (Optional):
   • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the soup and cook for a few more minutes until the soup thickens.
5. Add Cream (Optional):
   • For a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half and heat through.
6. Serve:
   • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and parsley, if desired.
