In a separate pot, heat 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and sauté 1 tablespoon crushed garlic and ginger.

Add the shredded chicken to the pot and sauté until slightly crispy.

Introduce frozen sweet corn and chopped carrot, mixing well.

Pour in the strained broth and add additional water if needed.

Add chopped cabbage and bell pepper after 5-10 minutes of cooking the soup.

Stir in 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons chili sauce, and 2 tablespoons ketchup.

Add 1/2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to balance the flavors.

Mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the soup, stirring until thickened.

Beat 2 eggs and slowly pour them into the soup while stirring gently.

Finish by adding chopped fresh coriander and green chilies for garnish.
