What’s in this Egg Drop Soup Recipe?
Hearty, healthy, and ‘souper’ delicious, this homemade soup is a total crowd-pleaser! Loaded with protein and low in calories, it’s great as a side or a lighter meal. Chicken broth seasoned with ginger and garlic and swimming with silky egg – it’s a classic that you’ll keep coming back to!
Sesame Oil: Adds a nutty flavor and prevents the onions, garlic, and ginger from burning. Green Onion: Adds a fresh and earthy flavor. Fresh Ginger: Adds a warm and spicy flavor. Garlic: Adds an earthy flavor and a pungent aroma. Chicken Broth: Forms the base of the soup. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead. Soy Sauce: Adds a salty and umami element. Cornstarch: Thickens the soup. Eggs: Create ribbons of soft, silky ‘noodles’.
Pro Tip: Use an equal amount of tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten free alternative to soy sauce.
