We make this all the time. Being cooped up in the house during quarantine I can’t seem to keep groceries around. With the whole family being home all the time we burn through groceries super fast. This is one of those recipes that is quick and easily made with on-hand items when there isn’t much to choose from and soooo good!
How to Make Simple Egg Drop Soup
Simple Egg Drop Soup
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chicken Stock
- 2 Tbsp. Cornstarch
- 1 tsp. Ground Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 3 Eggs
- 1/2 tsp. Sesame Oil
- 3 Green Onions, thinly sliced
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions
- Whisk together broth, cornstarch, ginger and garlic powder in a medium sauce pan until smooth.
- Heat over high heat until the broth simmers, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a measuring cup
- Once the broth reaches a simmer, use a fork to slowly stir in a circle, creating a whirlpool and slowly pour eggs in while stirring
- Remove pot from heat and stir in the sesame oil, green onions and corn (if using) until combined.
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Serve immediately
Note: I sometimes add some frozen corn to it to give it a little more substance. It’s a delicious addition! Also, dried chives will work in a pinch if you don’t happen to have green onions on hand.
Enjoy!
