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. So here is my budget-hacked version, adapted from my friend Elise at Simply Recipes.

Here…take a sip…

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

Enjoy!!!
