Simple Egg Drop Soup
Making flavorful egg drop soup from scratch is surprisingly easy and quick. Start with a quality chicken broth – this is the base for your soup's flavor. Bring it to a simmer in a pot.
For authentic Chinese-style egg drop soup, you'll want to whisk a few eggs until thoroughly combined. You can add a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil to the broth for extra depth. For a thicker soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the simmering broth.
Slowly drizzle the whisked eggs into the simmering broth while gently stirring the soup in one direction. The egg will cook into delicate ribbons. Garnish with fresh scallions and serve immediately. This simple recipe makes a perfect, comforting meal.
