Recipe - Velvet Corn Soup With Crab

4 lg Fresh ears of corn
1 qt Chicken stock
Salt
1 teaspoon White pepper
1 teaspoon Fresh ground ginger
1 tablespoon Cornstarch dissolved in
2 tablespoon Cold water
2 Egg whites; beaten
8 ounce Crabmeat
1 Scallion; chopped

Using a sharp knife, slice the kernels of fresh corn from their cobs into a
bowl, being careful not to cut too deeply into the cob. Put in a food
processor and grind fine. Place the chicken stock in a saucepan and bring
to a boil. Add the corn, salt, white pepper, and fresh ginger, stirring
constantly. Bring to a boil again. Turn to a low heat and cook for 5
minutes. Pour in the cornstarch mixture. Stir constantly until the soup has
thickened and become clear. Immediately pour in the egg whites, still
stirring. Add crabmeat. Turn off the heat and quickly pour the hot soup
into a tureen and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
