Description

This Egg Drop Soup is a simple, comforting Chinese soup with silky egg ribbons in a savory, flavorful broth. It comes together in just 10 minutes, making it a quick and easy meal or appetizer. Serve it with green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil for the perfect finishing touch!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (for thickening, optional)
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup corn (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  • Heat the broth – In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and ginger.

  • Thicken the soup (optional) – If you prefer a thicker soup, mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl and stir it into the broth. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

  • Create egg ribbons – Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently in a circular motion. This creates delicate egg ribbons.

  • Add final touches – Stir in green onions and corn (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

  • Serve hot – Ladle into bowls and enjoy with extra green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil on top!


Notes

  • Make it vegetarian: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Add protein: Stir in shredded chicken or tofu for a heartier soup.
  • Spice it up: Add a dash of white pepper, sriracha, or chili oil for extra heat.
  • Extra flavor: A touch of rice vinegar or a pinch of sugar balances the flavors beautifully.
