Sweet Corn Chicken Soup-Instant Pot
This is my second recipe in the series of “How to make Chinese food that not even the Chinese have ever tasted”. These are Indian infused Chinese dishes. The first one was my healthier baked version of Gobi Manchurian. Indian-Chinese food is like nothing you’ve ever had before. Not in India and definitely not in China. I can say this from having eaten extensively in both countries. It is really a selection of dishes that takes into account Chinese seasoning and cooking techniques—but adapting them to Indian tastes, and the availability of Chinese cooking ingredients in India. It is said to have been developed by a small Hakka community that migrated to India over a century ago. This soup is very popular in Indian Chinese restaurants and I’ve been making it for 30+ years so I thought I’d share it with you. I’m also going to post a Spicy Corn and Chicken version which I created and I just LOVE. What I do is make this soup for the kids and then I add Rotel(r) to mine for a little kick. It’s the perfect two-in-one meal that is sure to satisfy the whole family. In India, the soup is usually thickened with a cornstarch slurry but I tend to not do that. I just prefer soups with more broth. But if you prefer a thicker broth you can add in cornstarch, eggs, or both.

Or add both, if you’re feeling wild and adventurous.Reduce corn in half and add eggs to increase protein content and reduce carbs.Let me tell you a secret. I used to make this with CANNED CHICKEN when I was in a rush. Honestly, it’s the only way I can eat canned chicken. So if you want to do that, have at it. Know that others before you have fed their children that way when they were tired. It gets the job done!
