Why Make This This easy egg drop soup comes together in about 15 minutes. Pouring in the eggs while gently stirring creates those classic restaurant-style ribbons.   Egg drop soup is best eaten immediately and does not reheat or keep well. In college one of the dishes I relied on was my own version of egg drop soup. It was simple, tasty, comforting and (most importantly) budget friendly. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer An Inexpensive Crowd Pleaser As I started to make it more and more I began to notice that friends started to drop by for dinner with increasing frequency. This was fine as all I had to do was add a bit more chicken stock and soy sauce and toss in another beaten egg. I could feed my guests cheaply and enjoy their company. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer Just Like Restaurant Egg Drop Soup! For years I ate what I thought had been faux egg drop soup cobbled together by a hungry student, however, it was only recently I discovered that my recipe was actually quite accurate. With the addition of some cornstarch and the use of white pepper, this homemade soup is a dead ringer for the soup at your favorite Chinese-American restaurant. How to Make Egg Drop Soup As mentioned above, making a quick batch of this soup couldn't be easier. First , make a quick slurry of cornstarch and a little stock—this helps dissolve the cornstarch so that it doesn't clump up when you add it to the soup. Set this aside so that it's ready when you need it. Second, bring the broth to a boil with all the flavoring ingredients: ginger, soy sauce, green onions, white pepper, and mushrooms. Third, whisk the cornstarch slurry into the broth. Last but not least, add the beaten eggs while gently stirring the soup so they fan out in ribbons. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer Tips for Making Egg Drop Soup The cornstarch is key to this endeavor. It not only thickens up the soup just enough to give it body, but it also helps keep the eggs silky and tender. Don't skip it! (FYI, you can add a little extra cornstarch if you'd like a thicker soup.) Also important is to stir the pot slowly—not rapidly—as you add the eggs. You want enough movement to make ribbons, but not so much that the egg just dissolves into barely-there wisps. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer Eat Right Away! Egg drop soup is a meal that is best served as soon as it's ready, so tell your guests to be at the table with spoons in their hands! This is also not a soup that keeps or reheats very well, so make only what you will eat right away. Looking for More Chinese Recipes? Hot and Sour Soup Sweet and Sour Chicken Ginger Beef Stir Fry Chicken Soup with Ginger and Shiitake Mushrooms Chinese Almond Cookies Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer Homemade chicken stock is the best for this. Also, if you can't locate any of the mushroom types indicated in the recipe, crimini (aka: baby bellas) will do just fine. Or, you can just leave them out altogether. Ginger is what makes the soup a little spicy. Dial it down to 1/4 teaspoon if you want a milder soup. Keep Screen Awake 4 cups chicken stock,   homemade  preferred, divided 1 tablespoon cornstarch 3/4 cup enoki mushrooms or sliced shiitake mushrooms 3 green onions , chopped Scant 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce if cooking gluten-free) 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 3 large eggs , lightly beaten Make the cornstarch slurry: Measure out 1/2 cup of the stock and mix with the cornstarch until dissolved. Bring the soup ingredients to a boil: Place the remaining chicken stock, mushrooms, green onions (reserving a few for garnish), ginger, soy sauce, and white pepper in a pot and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer Stir in the beaten eggs: Slowly pour in the beaten eggs while stirring the soup slowly. The egg will spread out into ribbons. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer Serve: Turn off the heat and garnish with a few more chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

### Why Make This - This easy egg drop soup comes together in about 15 minutes. - Pouring in the eggs while gently stirring creates those classic restaurant-style ribbons. - Egg drop soup is best eaten immediately and does not reheat or keep well. In college one of the dishes I relied on was my own version of egg drop soup. It was simple, tasty, comforting and (most importantly) budget friendly. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer ## An Inexpensive Crowd Pleaser As I started to make it more and more I began to notice that friends started to drop by for dinner with increasing frequency. This was fine as all I had to do was add a bit more chicken stock and soy sauce and toss in another beaten egg. I could feed my guests cheaply and enjoy their company. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer ## Just Like Restaurant Egg Drop Soup\! For years I ate what I thought had been faux egg drop soup cobbled together by a hungry student, however, it was only recently I discovered that my recipe was actually quite accurate. With the addition of some cornstarch and the use of white pepper, this homemade soup is a dead ringer for the soup at your favorite Chinese-American restaurant. ## How to Make Egg Drop Soup As mentioned above, making a quick batch of this soup couldn't be easier. - **First**, make a quick slurry of cornstarch and a little stock—this helps dissolve the cornstarch so that it doesn't clump up when you add it to the soup. Set this aside so that it's ready when you need it. - **Second,** bring the broth to a boil with all the flavoring ingredients: ginger, soy sauce, green onions, white pepper, and mushrooms. - **Third,** whisk the cornstarch slurry into the broth. - **Last but not least,** add the beaten eggs while gently stirring the soup so they fan out in ribbons. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer ## Tips for Making Egg Drop Soup The cornstarch is key to this endeavor. It not only thickens up the soup just enough to give it body, but it also helps keep the eggs silky and tender. Don't skip it! (FYI, you can add a little extra cornstarch if you'd like a thicker soup.) Also important is to stir the pot slowly—not rapidly—as you add the eggs. You want enough movement to make ribbons, but not so much that the egg just dissolves into barely-there wisps. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer ## Eat Right Away\! Egg drop soup is a meal that is best served as soon as it's ready, so tell your guests to be at the table with spoons in their hands\! This is also not a soup that keeps or reheats very well, so make only what you will eat right away. ## Looking for More Chinese Recipes? - [Hot and Sour Soup](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/hot_and_sour_soup/) - [Sweet and Sour Chicken](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/sweet_and_sour_chicken/) - [Ginger Beef Stir Fry](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/stir_fry_ginger_beef/) - [Chicken Soup with Ginger and Shiitake Mushrooms](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/chicken_soup_with_ginger_and_shiitake_mushrooms/) - [Chinese Almond Cookies](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/chinese_almond_cookies/) Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer [Homemade chicken stock](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_chicken_stock/) is the best for this. Also, if you can't locate any of the mushroom types indicated in the recipe, crimini (aka: baby bellas) will do just fine. Or, you can just leave them out altogether. Ginger is what makes the soup a little spicy. Dial it down to 1/4 teaspoon if you want a milder soup. Keep Screen Awake - 4 cups chicken stock, [homemade](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_chicken_stock/) preferred, divided - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 3/4 cup enoki mushrooms or sliced shiitake mushrooms - 3 green onions, chopped - Scant 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger - 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce if cooking gluten-free) - 1/4 teaspoon white pepper - 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 1. Make the cornstarch slurry: Measure out 1/2 cup of the stock and mix with the cornstarch until dissolved. 2. Bring the soup ingredients to a boil: Place the remaining chicken stock, mushrooms, green onions (reserving a few for garnish), ginger, soy sauce, and white pepper in a pot and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer 3. Stir in the beaten eggs: Slowly pour in the beaten eggs while stirring the soup slowly. The egg will spread out into ribbons. Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer 4. Serve: Turn off the heat and garnish with a few more chopped green onions. Serve immediately. **Did you enjoy this recipe?
