Ingredients
Scale
Broth
- 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
Eggs
- 2 large Eggs
Thickening Agent
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
Flavor Enhancers
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
Garnish
- 2 Green Onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a medium saucepan, bring your chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. This sets the stage for the delightful flavors to come.
- Thicken the Broth: Mix cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the simmering broth to thicken it slightly, giving your soup a wonderful texture.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the soy sauce and let it simmer for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Create the Egg Ribbons: With the broth gently simmering, slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while stirring the broth in a circular motion. This creates those lovely, silky egg ribbons that are signature to Easy Egg Drop Soup.
- Finish with Green Onions: Finally, stir in the chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor. Let it simmer for another minute before removing it from heat.
Notes
- Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs yield the best texture and flavor, making your soup even more delightful.
- Adjust Thickness: If you prefer a thinner soup, reduce the amount of cornstarch; for a thicker soup, increase it slightly.
- Simmer Gently: Keep the broth at a gentle simmer to prevent the eggs from clumping together.
- Season to Taste: Always taste and adjust the seasoning before serving; a bit of salt or pepper can elevate the flavors.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the green onions or any other garnishes; they add color and taste!
