Real Easy and Real Tasty Egg Drop Soup
"Again, adopted this recipe after living in China. It's really great as a starter or even as a quick snack! I like my egg drop soup gingery. Feel free to reduce amount of ginger if you're not a fan.
I've removed the optional msg from the recipe, as I so rarely use it anyway."

- Ready In:
- 12mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
3 bowls
- Serves:
- 3
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons very finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1⁄4 cup chopped scallion
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
directions
- Mix cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Put chicken broth, ginger and scallions in a pot and bring to a full boil. Turn off heat once boiled.
- Add beaten eggs to the broth and immediately start stirring with a fork. Eggs should not be forming lumps. If they are, it is because the eggs were not stirred quickly enough after pouring into the broth. Eggs should have a silky texture and appearance.
- Add cornstarch mixture and turn heat on low until broth thickens slightly. Turn heat off.
- Stir in soy sauce, and sesame oil. Enjoy!

My family loved this soup! I didn't have the scallions, or the sesame oil, plus I forgot the soy sauce. It was still a hit here. Thanks for posting this great recipe. -
