Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon seafood soup base
- 1 cup crab meat, flaked
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup imitation crab, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 egg
- green onions, chopped
Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, combine chicken broth and seafood base and bring to a boil, stirring until seafood base is dissolved.
- Add crab meat, corn, and imitation crab. Continue to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a bowl, combine cornstarch and water and stir until smooth.
- Lower heat and add cornstarch mixture, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Return to a boil for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Break the egg into the pot and with a fork, stir until the egg is dispersed. Continue to cook for 1 minute or until the egg is set.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with green onions. Serve hot.
Notes
- I added imitation crab for a boost of color and to resemble the Knorr crab and corn soup version.
- You can use creamed corn instead of corn kernels, but adjust the amount of cornstarch slurry as the it makes the soup thick and creamy.
- If you can't find seafood soup base, substitute shrimp bouillon cubes.
