Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Cream (Optional):
- For a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half and heat through.
- Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and parsley, if desired.
