# Chicken Soup with Golden Broth 黄金玉米鸡汤

## Corn Chicken Soup

![Chicken soup with carrot and corn.](/files/RAi9Pz0NcjyKxNO3OGZp)

### Ingredients

* Chicken (1kg)
* Corn (2 cobs)
* Carrots (7)
* Ginger slices (2)
* Cooking wine (optional)
* MSG (1g)
* Salt (15g)

### Cost and Time

Based on the BOM, roughly:

* Chicken: €5.5
* Carrots: \~€1.5
* Corn: €3

Total cost is around €10 for one batch, which makes about 4 servings → €10 / 4 servings!

Cooking time, including shopping, is about 1h 20min.

### Instructions

1. **Prepare the Chicken**\
   Traditionally, you break down a whole chicken: first remove the wishbone, then the legs, wings, and breast meat, leaving the carcass to chop into small pieces (<3cm).
   * *2025-09-13 Update* → Actually, it’s much easier to just use chicken drumsticks. Chop them into smaller pieces for the soup. For example, [AH free-range chicken drumsticks / AH Scharrel kippenbouten](https://www.ah.be/producten/product/wi531855/ah-scharrel-kippenbouten) work really well — cheap, convenient, and tasty! Just make sure to use a cleaver that can cut through bones.
2. **Blanch the Chicken**\
   In a pot of boiling water, add cooking wine and ginger, then blanch the chicken pieces for 2 minutes. Discard the hot water and immediately transfer the chicken into cold water.

   * Alternatively, you can bring the water just to a boil and gently let the white foam rise, skimming it off with a ladle.

3. **Simmer the Soup**\
   Add corn, carrots, and ginger slices along with the blanched chicken. Season with 15g salt and 1g MSG. Keep the heat very low — hot but not boiling — and simmer for 20 minutes. At this point, the chicken and corn are already cooked and can be eaten.
4. **Continue Simmering**\
   Carrots may need longer to soften fully. Continue simmering for another 20 minutes until the carrots are tender and sweet. Then serve!

### Notes

* Remove the corn at the right time to keep its freshness and sweetness; overcooking affects the taste and texture.
* Ideally, use a yellow farm-raised chicken (Gele Kip). However, in practice, [AH free-range chicken drumsticks](https://www.ah.be/producten/product/wi531855/ah-scharrel-kippenbouten) work perfectly, taste great, and are cheaper.
* Add MSG and salt during cooking, not at the end, so the chicken and corn absorb the flavor.
* If you’re making hot pot instead, you can replace the water with coconut water. In that case, no need to blanch — just skim off the foam.

## 玉米鸡汤

### 材料

* 鸡 （1kg）
* 玉米 （两根）
* 胡萝卜 （7根）
* 姜片（两片）
* 料酒（可选）
* 味精MSG （1g）
* 盐 （15g）

### 材料成本和时间

我看BOM 大概是这样：

* 鸡肉 5.5 EUR
* 胡萝卜 \~1.5 EUR
* 玉米 3 EUR

最后大胆估计成本大约在10 EUR一份；一次大概能有4份的serving，也就是10 EUR/4 serving!

总共烹饪时间成本则大概在1hr 20min，算上购物时间！

### 步骤

1. **拆鸡**：先拆鸡。拆鸡的第一步（也是关键步骤）是把许愿骨拆下来，然后就可以拆腿、拆翅膀。接着拆鸡胸肉，之后就留个鸡骨架。剁成小块（3cm 以下）
   * 2025-09-13 更新 -> 其实用鸡腿肉，剁成小块煲汤更方便！[🔗链接](https://www.ah.be/producten/product/wi531855/ah-scharrel-kippenbouten)这里面这种 AH free-range chicken drumsticks/AH Scharrel kippenbouten 就可以，便宜方便容易做！记得要用剁骨头的刀子。
2. **焯鸡肉**：先用开水加料酒再加姜去焯鸡肉两分钟。用的是开水沸水焯。焯完之后，倒掉热水，立即去放到冷水里去。

   * 也可以用恰好刚刚沸腾的火力把白色泡沫慢慢煮出来，再用漏勺挑掉。

3. **炖汤**：接着加玉米、胡萝卜、姜片开始炖。加入盐（15g）和味精（1g）调味。用最小的恰好不沸腾的火，炖上20分钟。这时候鸡肉和玉米就熟了，可以先吃。
4. **继续炖**：胡萝卜可能还需要炖久一点，可以再炖20分钟，胡萝卜也会变得软糯，这时候就可以完全盛出来吃了！

### 注意事项

* 记得在合适的时候捞出玉米来保证玉米的新鲜和甜度，否则玉米的口感和味道会受到影响。
* 要买黄黄的农场谷饲鸡来煲汤。Gele Kip! 但我后来实测[🔗链接](https://www.ah.be/producten/product/wi531855/ah-scharrel-kippenbouten) 这种 AH free-range chicken drumsticks/AH Scharrel kippenbouten 也很好吃，还更便宜！
* 不要在最后才加入味精和盐，不然鸡肉和玉米会没啥味道。
* 如果你打算做火锅的话，可以把水换成椰子水，也不用焯水了——只需要撇去浮沫就好！
