Egg Drop Soup is a healthy Chinese broth based soup made with eggs, chicken broth, cornstarch, and green onions. If you're looking for a healthy, warm, easy soup, this recipe is for you!
4cupslow-sodium chicken broth, (I like better than Bouillon chicken base)
1tablespoonreduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4teaspoonground ginger
2tablespoonscornstarch
2tablespoons water
2largeeggs, beaten
1/4teaspoonkosher salt, (more to taste)
(optional)1/4 teaspoonsesame oil, (see note)
1/4cupsliced green onions
Instructions
In a pot, bring the chicken broth, soy sauce, and ground ginger to a boil.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Stir into the boiling broth until thickened.
Reduce heat to a simmer. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the soup while gently stirring in a circle in the same direction.
Remove from heat and add the salt, sesame oil (if using), and green onions. Add more salt to taste and serve.
Notes
Sesame oil is not absolutely necessary but gives the soup a really nice flavor. it is a rare ingredient that most people don't have on hand but tastes great if you have it.
