Ingredients

  • 3 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 ounces) cream-style corn
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry, if desired
  • 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Dash of white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 8 ounces imitation seafood sticks or cooked real king crabmeat, coarsely flaked
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • 2 egg whites or 1/4 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg product
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Red pepper sauce to taste, if desired
  • Cider vinegar, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Mix broth, corn, soy sauce, sherry, gingerroot, salt and white pepper in 3-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Mix cornstarch and cold water. Stir cornstarch mixture, seafood and onions into broth mixture. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened; remove from heat.
  • 2
    Beat egg whites slightly (not until foamy); pour slowly into broth mixture, stirring constantly with fork until egg whites form threads. Stir in 1 teaspoon vinegar and the sesame oil. Serve with pepper sauce and additional vinegar.

  • Imitation crabmeat is made from pollack, a mild white fish that is extremely low in fat. An acceptable substitute for real crabmeat, imitation crabmeat is readily available and less expensive. Use it in salads or even stir-fries. Stir additional vinegar into the soup if you like a more sour-tart flavor.
