Copycat Taiwan McDonald’s Creamy Corn Soup
My favorite thing to order when I visit McDonald’s in Taiwan is their Creamy Corn Soup, so I had to recreate it. Super creamy, sweet, and savory, My Taiwanese Creamy Corn Soup is vegetarian-friendly, healthy, and affordable, perfect for students and busy families. I recommend dipping spicy Korean Garlic Bread into the soup for the PERFECT weeknight dinner!
Cozy Creamy Vegetarian Sweet Corn Soup
Taiwanese Creamy Corn Soup is a must-try recipe this fall! When I immigrated to Canada, one of the dishes I missed the most from Taiwan was McDonald’s Creamy Corn Soup. It is the ultimate comfort food that is a popular item in Taiwan’s McDonald’s menu. I was determined to remake it. After a few trials and errors and a few years to master it, this is the perfect copycat recipe for the famous Creamy Corn Soup from Taiwan’s McDonalds!
Corn Soup Ingredients
- ½ Onion diced
- 5 tbsp Butter
- 1 can Creamed Style Corn 540 mL
- 3 cups Chicken Stock salted or Vegetable Stock
- 1 can Sweet Corn 540 mL
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 2.5 cups Cream or Milk
- Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Secret Tips for Extra Creamy soup
The secret to extra creamy and flavourful Creamy Corn Soup is to blend the onion and corn first. By merging all the ingredients, the flavor of the onion and corn becomes smooth while not overpowered by the cream.
I like to use either Lee Kum Kee Chicken Bouillon Soup base or Knorr Homestyle Vegetable stock. Make sure to season the soup based on how salty your soup is of choice.
Adding Extra Proteins and Veggies to Corn Soup
I am making a Vegetarian-friendly version for my Creamy Corn Soup, but you can also add protein and other vegetables. I like to add shredded chicken or ham to add protein and potato to make the soup more filling.
If you want to add in any protein, make sure to add it AFTER you blend the cream of corn, onion, and soup mixture. You can also add additional toppings such as fresh chives, black pepper, shredded cheese, or garlic bread.
How To Make Creamy Sweet Corn Soup
- Turn the heat up to medium-high, and in a pot, add 2 tbsp of butter. Once butter is melted, add in onion and saute for 3-4 minutes or until translucent.
- Add in 1 can of creamed-style corn and mix for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in chicken stock and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth.
- In a new pot, add in 3 tbsp of butter and 3 tbsps of flour. Mix until smooth
- Slowly pour in 2.5 cups of cream or milk and mix until there is no lump and a thicker consistency.
- Strain the corn and onion mixture into the pot, add sweet corn and mix until everything is smooth.
- Salt and pepper to taste, ENJOY!!
