Notes
This soup has a medium thick consistency. If you prefer a thicker version, use 3 tbsp cornflour and for a thinner version use 1 tbsp cornflour.
For a veg option, use veg stock and you can also add veggies like cooked carrot and beans along with sweet corn and follow the rest of the recipe.
I add vinegar to the soup for acidity and punch. If you dont like the taste you can avoid it. When you add the egg, make sure you drizzle it through the strainer otherwise it will be chunky.
You can use the frozen chicken stock cubes while making noodles, pasta etc; It gives more flavour to the dish.
I used the chicken breast to make the stock. You can also use leftover bone pieces of a chicken to make stock, that adds more flavour.

For veg soup what to add instead of egg ? I have tried many recipes but the soups dont taste like the ones from knorr or maggi. What is the secret ingredient in them which makes that base?Also pls tell me the ing. for veg stock.
Hi Deepti,
Now that’s a difficult question for me :(( I’m not sure what you can add in place of egg.
I dont use Knorr or Maggie soup, so I’m not very familiar with it. But I guess they must be adding some flavour enhancers for the taste.
You can add any veggies of your choice and follow the recipe for chicken stock.
Cheers
