Egg Drop Soup
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
2 big bowls of soup
- Serves:
- 2-4
ingredients
- 3 cups chicken stock or 3 cups broth
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup bok choy or 1/4 cup Baby Spinach, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 green onion, chopped fine
- 1⁄2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped fine
- soy sauce (optional)
- salt and pepper
directions
- Combine stock, ginger and garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat.
- Combine eggs and green onion in a small bowl and beat lightly.
- Once boiling, add bok choi or spinach and let simmer until tender.
- While stirring soup, slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the still simmering soup. The faster you stir and the slower you drizzle, the finer the egg's consistency will be.
- Continue to simmer for a 1-2 minutes to ensure that the egg is thoroughly cooked, then remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Also season with soy sauce to taste if a more Chinese flavour is desired. (I prefer to omit this ingredient as I prefer a more vietnamese flavour).
- Divide into individual bowls and garnish with cilantro.
