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
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.

I love egg drop soup but never make it at home. Looks delicious. I have to try this!
One of my favorite soups of all time, I didn't know it was simple! Thanks!
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!
Such a great simple soup.

I love egg drop soup, especially with crispy wonton flakes. That looks delicious

That looks really good Amanda! I have to confess I have always thought eww too, but after seeing yours I may give it a go!

I love egg drop soup! Last time I made it with duck eggs, very good.
Oh my that does look like the simplest soup to make EVER!
So simple yet so darn good, this is my all time favorite soup to get out.
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.
