Ingredients

4 cups prepared chicken stock, plus 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 green onions, chopped, including ends
Salt and white pepper, to taste

Directions

Bring soup stock, grated ginger and soy sauce to a boil. In a small cup, make a slurry by combining the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of chicken stock. Stir until dissolved. Slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture while stirring the stock, until thickened. Reduce heat to a simmer. Pour in the eggs slowly while stirring the soup in the same direction. The egg will spread and feather. Turn off the heat and add the green onions. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately

Good with Minor Modification
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The soup screamed for a few drops of sesame oil and slightly more starch. I think the white pepper is key to final taste. ... Black pepper just doesn't taste the same.Read more

Could use a little tweaking
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I love, love, love egg drop soup, so decided to try making my own after finding this super simple recipe. The results? ... Less than stellar. While it was one of the easiest things I've ever made, I felt like the chicken stock and soy sauce overpowered the other flavors, and it wasn't as thick as I'd like it. All in all, a good effort and I'll probably make it again but use less soy sauce and maybe combine the chicken stock with water so the flavor isn't so strong.Read more

FINALLY! EGG DROP I CAN MAKE MYSELF
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This soup was EXCELLENT Even thoguh I added too much soy and used black rather than white paper. It tasted delisouse and... will definitly be made again. I think next time I will add some chicken, peas, and corn to use as a meal rather than a side. It doesn't taste like chicken noodle soup at all and the flavor was delisouse. THANK YOU!Read more

Delicious and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the first time I've ever attempted Egg Drop soup and it was very easy and delicious. The only thing that I changed... was I added more ginger and thinly sliced it instead of grating it. I'll be making this often.Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe after reading some of the comments. I did add lots of sliced ginger, and actually doubled the recipe.... The results were heavenly. I felt so proud of myself, then remembered I did not create the recipe. I highly recommend it especially during these winter months. THANK YOU, Marcia in CaRead more
