Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 button mushrooms, sliced thin
10 small oyster mushrooms, sliced thin
1 (3 ounce) package enoki mushrooms, roots removed
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped celery
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped carrot
3 cloves garlic, smashed
salt and pepper to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (5 ounce) can chunk white chicken (such as Swanson®), drained
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ cup cold milk
15 leaves fresh Thai basil, chopped

Directions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms; cook and stir until lightly browned. Add the onion, celery, green bell pepper, carrot, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth, cream-style corn, chicken, rice wine vinegar, and five-spice powder, and bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Mix cornstarch with the milk in a small bowl, and stir into the soup. Stir until soup has thickened. Garnish each serving with chopped basil.

Cook's Note

You can sprinkle a handful of fresh bean sprouts in each bowl for the crunchy texture, and you won't miss the croutons!
