Egg Drop Soup

"I came up with this recipe due to the lack of a Chinese restaurant for 20 miles from here. When I served this to a Vietnamese friend, she said that it came very close to that which she makes. Hers included a bit of soy sauce."

  1. I made this awhile ago but never rated it. I loved this simple recipe. Most of 'zaars egg drop soup recipes get too crazy with the ingredients! The ginger is the key as it adds a delicate flavor without overpowering. I loved the method of just simmering the chunk of ginger and then removing it. All the other recipes used grated but I liked the texture smooth with nothing floating around. I used vegetarian chicken broth and simmer fresh onion with the ginger instead of the flakes. I skipped the dried parsley as it doesn't add flavor. I also increased the number of eggs as I like a lot. Great texture and perfect for a sore throat. Can't wait to make it again!

I'm 22, and living in a small town in Missouri. I've been vagan for about 4 years now, so trying to veganize my favorite recipes is sometimes a challenge, but really fun.
