How to Make Egg Drop Soup 🍲🥚

Egg drop soup is a classic Chinese dish that’s quick to prepare and full of comforting flavors. Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

- 2 large eggs

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

- 2 tablespoons water

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)

- 2 green onions, sliced

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Optional: a handful of frozen peas or corn for extra texture

Steps:

1. In a medium pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. If using ginger, add it to the broth for extra flavor.

2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering broth to thicken it slightly. Continue to simmer for a few minutes.

3. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering broth while stirring gently. This will create the signature silky egg ribbons.

4. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, add frozen peas or corn at this stage.

5. Let the soup cook for another minute or two until the peas or corn are heated through.

6. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.

7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
