Description

This soup is easy to make and tastes better than what I’ve had at many restaurants. You can add ingredients to your liking, but I just keep it simple!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten Slightly
  • 1 dash Black Pepper To Taste
  • 1 dash Soy Sauce Or More To Taste

Preparation

Bring the broth to a boil. In a small cup, combine the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of the heated broth and whisk to combine. Whisk cornstarch mixture into the broth and boil for a minute or two to thicken the broth. Turn off the heat. Pour in the egg in a thin stream while stiring slowly in one direction. Do not over stir or the egg will break into tiny bits instead of making ribbons. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes before ladling into soup bowls. Season with soy sauce and black pepper to taste. You can also add thinly sliced green onion for garnish.

Oh recipe, you are just what I have been searching for!! I had some egg drop soup at a local Chinese restaurant this week and it really got me thinking, “Hmmmm…I should find a recipe and make my own.” I knew that I could rely on you my tasty kitchen!!!! This looks great and I have everything on hand so I will be trying it right away!! Thank you, thank you.

Great recipe. I found that I used the low sodium broth and soy sauce and went a little heavy on the pepper. The onions were a great touch as well. Great thing to whip up quickly ahead of time for lunches!

So easy and SO good!!! I didn’t have any green onions so I added in some raw baby spinach. It was excellent! Although i’d rename it Egg Drop Soup for One! Thanks for this easy recipe i will make it often.
