Easy egg drop soup

The origins of “Egg Drop” soup lie in its method of preparation—adding raw egg to hot soup. Interestingly, its Chinese translation, “egg flower soup,” derives from the egg’s creation of intricate swirls resembling flowers in the soup. While there exist numerous variations of Egg Drop soup, the following recipe presents a classic rendition akin to what you’d find in restaurants, now easily replicable at home.

But why bother making it yourself when you can simply grab a small serving for a few dollars? The answer is simplicity and speed. This homemade version is not only straightforward but also quicker than waiting for takeout!

Moreover, many restaurants heavily rely on monosodium glutamate (MSG) in their egg drop soup, although some are reducing its usage nowadays. Our recipe stands out by omitting MSG entirely, ensuring a healthier choice. Whether you opt for homemade chicken broth, organic store-bought broth, or even vegetable broth, the result is a customizable, flavorful Egg Drop soup. You can adjust the seasoning to your preference and even use organic eggs for added quality. Enjoy your homemade creation!
