Description

A warm and comforting bowl of egg drop soup made with chicken broth, delicate ribbons of egg, and a hint of green onions.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Soy sauce (optional)


Instructions

  1. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a pot.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until smoothly blended.
  3. Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
  4. Once the broth reaches a boiling point, slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture.
  5. With the broth simmering, gently drizzle the beaten eggs while stirring.
  6. Add the sliced green onions along with salt and pepper for seasoning.
  7. Allow the soup to simmer for about a minute, then remove it from heat.
  8. Serve hot and add soy sauce if desired for extra flavor.

Notes

Perfect the drizzle technique to ensure silky strands of eggs.
