Egg Drop Soup




With only a few ingredients, you can make this healthy, easy and budget friendly recipe which takes less than 10 minutes to make. And tastes just like the soup at your favorite Chinese restaurant.


This soup does not reheat well as the eggs will overcook so only make what you need.


This recipe serves 2 -4 people depending on if it’s served as a starter or main. If serving for one or for a crowd, for every 2 cups of broth, use 1 egg.


Since I’m using soy sauce, I add the salt at the end based on taste.
