I have all sorts of chicken soup "recipes"-- including just the chicken carcass in the pot of hot water until the meat is off, then adding vegetables.  (I love that.)

But here I want to share my college roommate Irene's easy chicken soup recipe, which my children also love (and love to make themselves.)

Irene's Chinese Chicken Soup

2 cups chicken stock (or 1 14 oz can)

1 can cream style corn

1 egg, beaten

1 can chicken pieces (or 2 cups cooked chicken leftover)

+/- leftover (cooked) noodles or rice

Bring the broth and corn to a boil.  When it is boiling, pour the egg in slowly, stirring all the while until it has the consistency of the egg in Chinese egg-drop soup.  Then add in the chicken, and if desired, the cooked noodles or rice.

My kiddos (or kiddoes?) have been sick this week, so we coddled ourselves with a pot of it.
