The taste of this soup really depends on the quality of chicken stock used. The highly flavorful homemade chicken stock which I used produced a delicious Spinach Egg Drop Soup. My mother always added spinach to her wonton soup so the addition of spinach to egg drop soup seemed natural to me. Next time, I will add a little scallion. Thank you, fishywitch for a new twist on egg drop soup.

I love to cook! My house is usually full of my kids friends because their moms do not cook from scratch and they cannot believe how good food can taste! I have a DH, two children, a DD (17) and a DS (20), but I usually cook for 10 every night!! Then there is the love of my life, my grandson Damian (2). Wow!! What a gift from above.
My dad had a heart attack when I was nine, so my mom stopped cooking a big meal at night and started cooking a big meal for lunch (dinner). Well, I still had to go to school. Leftovers got really old really fast, so I started cooking. And the rest ~as they say~is history!! I was ecstatic when I stumbled upon Recipezaar, now I am obsessed. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/CROCKPOTSTKR.jpg">
