Easy Egg Drop Soup

Easy Egg Drop Soup is a Chinese soup made with a simple egg and chicken broth base. The soup typically includes a few vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, and green onions, and is often finished with a dash of sesame oil and white pepper. This comforting soup is a favorite among Chinese-restaurant regulars and can easily be made at home. The egg is the star of this dish, and it's important to make sure that it's cooked correctly so that the egg is silky and tender. With a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a warm and comforting bowl of egg drop soup in minutes.

  • Step 3
    Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Step 4
