Instructions

1. 1Dice the carrots into ¼-inch pieces and mince the fresh ginger. Separate the white and green parts of the green onions, chopping each separately. Pat the chicken breast dry and cut into bite-sized pieces.
2. 2In a large stockpot, combine the low sodium chicken broth (7 cups), chicken pieces, minced ginger, garlic powder, white parts of the green onions, diced carrots, sweet corn, and creamed corn. Stir until evenly combined.
3. 3Bring the soup to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, about 5–7 minutes. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until the carrots are fork-tender.
4. 4In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup chicken broth and cornstarch until no lumps remain. Pour the slurry into the simmering soup and stir constantly over medium heat for 1 minute until the soup thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. 5Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat lightly. Slowly swirl the soup in a continuous circular motion with a spoon, then drizzle the beaten eggs in a steady thin stream into the center of the swirl—the hot broth will instantly cook the eggs into delicate ribbons. Cook for 30 seconds.
6. 6Stir in the toasted sesame oil until fully combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
7. 7Divide the soup evenly into 8 airtight containers while hot, leaving ½-inch headspace. Top each portion with the reserved green parts of the green onions.
8. 8Cool containers to room temperature, seal, and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat gently over medium heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
