A warm bowl of Egg Drop Soup is the perfect quick and comforting dish. With just a few ingredients, you can have silky egg ribbons swirling in a rich, savory broth in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 slices fresh ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. If using ginger, add it now to infuse the broth.

  3. Stir in soy sauce and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
