You may find the name a misnomer. In Pakistan, we draw a lot of inspiration from China when it comes to stirring a pot of soup. You will find variations of chicken corn soup throughout the globe but in Pakistan we have our own spin to it and a lot of it is influenced by the neighboring country. A Pakistani Chinese restaurant would not fare too well without Chinese Chicken Corn Soup on the menu.You will find that the real flavor comes with dressing it up with hot sauce and soy sauce. Without those, the soup will be rather bland. Another ingredient the soup cannot do without is corn. Adding corn will bring the familiar aroma. To me cooking is reviving old scents and memories. A food bereft of the right aroma and taste cannot possibly transport me to another place. I like to be here and there and everywhere, specially that hospital room.
