Corn crab soup

Soups and Broths

Corn crab soup is a Chinese soup that is also served in American Chinese and Canadian Chinese cooking. It is similar to cream of corn soup, with egg white and either crab meat or imitation crab meat added. It is found in Chinese restaurants across mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and in several Southeast Asian countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. It is especially popular in Hakka-speaking parts of southern China and in Taiwan, and also in Chinese takeout restaurants in North America, Europe and Japan. In the Philippines it is known as sopang mais. It may be derived from tofu and crab soup, which is also found in North American restaurants.
