How to Make Easy Egg Drop Soup
Egg drop soup is already simple, consisting of only a few ingredients, but the preparation when using a traditional recipe can be time-consuming. Traditional egg drop soups typically require homemade chicken stock, high-quality Asian flavorings and precise egg swirling to create the perfect-sized egg ribbons in the soup. When you're short on time and looking for a simpler version, a few shortcuts will get this tasty Chinese soup ready in minutes.
Things You'll Need
- Pot
- Chicken broth
- Salt
- Eggs
- Whisk
- Additional seasonings, optional
Instructions
-
Bring chicken broth to boil in a medium-sized pot. Add a few dashes of salt when it reaches a boil. Traditional egg drop soup recipes encourage the use of homemade chicken broth, but if you don't have any ready-made, use a high-quality canned or boxed broth from the grocery store to save time and energy.
-
Whisk eggs together in a bowl while the chicken broth comes to a boil. Feel free to add a few drops of soy sauce to slightly flavor the eggs, if you prefer.
-
Turn off the heat and whisk the hot broth constantly, while slowly pouring in the beaten eggs. The eggs will start to cook in the hot broth, forming thin strands.
-
Stir the eggs gently in the soup to break up any egg clumps. Top the soup with chopped scallions or chives and serve hot.
