🍲 Egg Drop Soup Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)

  • 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
  • ½ tsp soy sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A few drops of sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the Broth

  • Add chicken broth, ginger, soy sauce (optional), salt, and pepper to a pot.
  • Bring to a gentle boil.

2. Add the Cornstarch Slurry

  • Stir the broth while slowly adding the slurry.
  • Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.

3. Create the Egg Ribbons

  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Slowly pour the beaten eggs in a thin stream while stirring gently to form silky ribbons.

4. Finish and Serve

  • Serve warm.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

  • Add corn kernels for a sweet corn variation
  • Serve with steamed dumplings or wontons

❄️ Storage Tips

  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on low heat — do not boil again, or the eggs may get tough.
  • Add fresh green onions only when serving.

❓ FAQs

1. Why is my egg drop soup cloudy?

Too much stirring or pouring eggs too quickly can cause cloudiness.

2. Can I make this soup thicker?

Add an extra 1–2 tsp cornstarch to your slurry.

3. Can I make it vegetarian?

Yes — use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

4. Can I add noodles?

Absolutely — vermicelli or ramen noodles work well.

5. How do I get perfect egg ribbons?

Keep the heat low and pour the eggs in a very thin stream.
