I had no idea how easy it was to make Egg Drop Soup until last week when I found this recipe on Alicia's Recipes. I remember as a kid thinking "Eeeeeewwwwwwww! Egg in soup?" Ha ha ha! Who knew! Egg Drop Soup is actually quite delicious and makes for a wonderful lunch. I quartered the recipe that you see below to make a meal sized portion. This recipe serves 8, making this more of an appetizer, which is how you would order it in a Chinese restaurant.
Egg Drop Soup
[printable version]
4 (14 oz) cans of chicken broth
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 eggs beaten
1 cup chopped green onions
Heat broth to boiling in large saucepan. In small bowl, make a paste from cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Slowly add cornstarch paste to the hot broth, add sugar, salt and pepper, stir to combine. Bring to a boil, stir constantly, will be slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to medium and add the eggs, a little at a time. Stir the soup to separate the eggs into shreds. Remove from heat and add green onions. Serve immediately.

egg drop soup is my favourite.
I never knew it was so easy either! Although I usually opt for hot and sour soup, I may make this sometime soon, as it is quite a budget-friendly soup!

I love egg drop soup and I never knew it was this easy, either! Going to have to make some :)
Egg drop gives a silky soft texture to the soup. Now we can "bite" the soup ;p
Wow. You did a fantastic job on this soup!! I heard that you supposed to stir the broth mixture in a continuous, circular fashion as you pour in the eggs to create the strands. Have you heard of that method?
Anyway, I love the look of the green onions on top of this soup. I'm bookmarking this recipe. Thanks!
I just made this for myself for lunch, and it was delicious. I added a few drops of toasted sesame oil at the last moment, which thoroughly deepened the flavor. Thanks! I never knew this soup was so easy!
Thats some great looking soup! I love easy when it comes to lunch. :)
have never made something like this... and it looks beautiful Amanda. Beautiful setting too!
I love eggs and scallions in anything. Have you tried the Greek Avgolemono soup? It's similar, but with lemon and so soothing.
