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.

This Sweet Corn Chicken Soup is hearty and comforting, perfect for a light dinner or as an appetizer. Enjoy!
