We love Egg Drop Soup and now it only takes a few mintues to make a pot at home! Served on its own for a light meal or as a first course, it's always a hit.

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon freshly minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (freshly ground black pepper will work as well, adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot (plus 2 tablespoons water)
2 eggs (beaten)
Optional: 2 green onions (sliced thin)

Steps:

  • Combine the stock, ginger and soy sauce in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together the cornstarch and water and pour into the simmering soup. Stir to combine and slightly thicken the soup.
  • Slowly pour in the beaten eggs, while stirring the soup in one direction. The egg will spread out and feather through the soup. Remove from the heat and add the green onions. Taste once more and adjust seasonings as needed. Enjoy!
