Highly Nutritious Chicken – Corn Soup at Golden Star Restaurant in Salinas, California by Ruth Paget
The title chicken – corn soup on the menu at Golden Star Restaurant in Salinas, California contains much more than you would think when you look at how it is described.
Chicken – corn soup is almost a secret menu item for all the protein and vitamins in this delicious dish at a reasonable price.
The flavor base for the chicken – corn soup at Gold Star is hot oil and chopped green onions. Previously steamed chicken breast tenders are added and stir-fried with sliced mushrooms and cabbage squares.
Chicken broth is added to the stir-fried chicken along with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and maybe some oyster sauce.
Sweet corn kernals, peas, and carrots are added to the chicken broth. Everything is then brought to a boil.
Once the soup boils, you gently swirl the soup and add in beaten eggs as if you were making egg flower soup. The eggs should flower out.
At this point, you can add in a cornstarch slurry to thicken the soup.
To finish the soup, you sprinkle chopped green onions on top and serve.
I like this savory soup with bites of sweetness from the corn, because it is packed with vitamins like the following:
-cabbage – Vitamin C
-carrots – Vitamin A and Vitamin C
-peas – Vitamin C
-mushrooms – B Vitamins
-chicken – selenium to support thyroid health
-eggs and chicken – protein
For flavor and nutrition, the chicken and corn soup at Golden Star Restaurant in Salinas, California is a great value for the price for people without any allergies to the ingredients or dietary preferences.
