Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating a substantial amount of vegetable oil in it over an elevated heat level. Introduce the assortment of button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms into the pot; proceed with stirring until they exhibit a light brown hue. Incorporate the onion, celery, green bell pepper, carrot, and garlic into the mix; season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Continue cooking and stirring for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld together harmoniously.

Next, combine the chicken broth, cream-style corn, chicken, rice wine vinegar, and five-spice powder in the pot; bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Subsequently, cover the pot and lower the heat to a moderate level; allow the soup to simmer gently for about 20 minutes, fostering an optimal blend of flavors.

In a separate container, whisk together the cornstarch and milk until well combined; then, stir this mixture into the soup. Continue stirring until the soup has thickened to your liking. Finally, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of chopped basil for added visual appeal
