How To Make Egg Drop Soup

Wispy beaten eggs are boiled in flavorful chicken broth in this simple Chinese soup.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 25 mins
Total: 40 mins
Serves:

Ingredients

  • 5 cups chicken stock, or vegetable stock, preferably low-sodium
  • cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 pcs star anise
  • 8 oz white button mushrooms, or any fresh mushrooms of your choice, sliced
  • 4 eggs, large
  • tbsp cornstarch, divided
  • soy sauce, or tamari, to taste

To serve:

  • 1 tbsp green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a soup pot over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the cinnamon stick and star anise to the soup pot. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove and discard the whole spices.

  3. Add the mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. In a bowl, combine the eggs and ¼ tablespoon of cornstarch in a small bowl and whisk with a fork until well combined.

  5. In another bowl, combine the remaining cornstarch and water in a small bowl until dissolved.

  6. Pour this mixture into the broth, whisking constantly, and let it simmer for a minute or two until the broth no longer tastes starchy.

  7. Pour the eggs slowly, stirring the broth gently with your other hand with a wooden spoon as you pour. Let the soup simmer undisturbed for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs.

  8. Season with roughly ⅔ tablespoon of soy sauce and adjust accordingly.

  9. Serve immediately, topped with thinly sliced green onions.
