I think it’s time to start talking about soups in my little Food Corner. They are not to everyone’s liking, and especially foreigners might easily think there is not much taste to them. That, of course, is a vast generalization, as there are quite some delicious soups in Chinese cuisine. Today, I’d like to start with the Sweet Corn Soup, though it’s not on the strong-taste side of the spectrum. It’s rather bland. Usually, corn is the base of this soup, and sometimes eggs are added during the boiling process. It’s slightly sweet in taste. Generally speaking, soups in China come towards the end of the meal, and not (like usually in the West) at the beginning.
