Homemade Egg Drop Soup Recipe

Just because it looks fancy and is something that you normally enjoy at a Chinese restaurant doesn’t mean you can’t make it at home.

Egg Drop Soup seems like the elusive soup. At least it always did for me. Maybe because it was just something you “ate when dining out.”

BUT…it’s so flipping simple to make at home.

I didn’t realize I’d never shared an Egg Drop Soup recipe until this soupy 31 Days series.

Here…take a sip…

(Oh, how I wish that you could sip through the screen!)

Enjoy!!!

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, warmthe chicken stock and whisk in the cornstarch. Add the chopped mushrooms, soy sauce, ground ginger and most of the green onions (set some aside for garnish.) Bring to bubbling and then stir the soup quickly until it is spinning in the saucepan.
