Egg Drop Soup Recipe

[Samo]

4 cups chicken broth/stock
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1/8 tsp ground ginger powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp corn starch
green onions to toss in at the end

boil 3 1/2 cups of the chicken broth, ginger powder, salt. leave 1/2 cup of the chicken stock in the measuring cup and mix the cornstarch with this (you can add more cornstarch if you want a thicker soup).

Slowly pour in the chicken stock and cornstarch mixture while stirring. It will thicken, then lower the heat for the eggs. Mix the 2 eggs +egg yolk in a bowl and slowly pour in the eggs while slowly whisking with your fork. Toss in the green onions and you're done!

You can put some corn in if you like, just a little bit, to give it texture. Or can thinly slice shiitake mushrooms to add. Some people like to pour a little bit of soy sauce (i don't, but i know people who do)

OMG I LOVE EGG DROP SOUP NOW IM CRAVING IT

Is this the Egg Drop soup like you get at the restraunts?

 

[Tink1o5]

also i have a question:

So when you do the eggs You NEED 2 eggs (does that include egg white and yolk or is that just supposed to be the egg whites or what?

 

[Samo]

Yes, this soup is like the kind you'd get at a chinese restaurant!

and the 2 eggs are just 2 regular eggs, both yolk and whites. The 3rd is just the yolk (although if you like, you can surely add 3 full eggs)
