Egg Drop Soup

Egg Drop Soup

Everyday

Egg drop soup is a classic Chinese dish featuring silky ribbons of cooked egg suspended in a clear, savory broth. The eggs are drizzled into simmering chicken or vegetable stock, creating delicate strands that provide high-quality protein while keeping calories low. This light yet satisfying soup often includes scallions or tofu for texture and is typically seasoned simply with ginger, soy sauce, or sesame oil, though some versions use cornstarch for slight thickening.
