Robin, I am sure you meant dry sherry, as I had no idea we had day or Night sherry. . . right??
I love egg flower soup. I make often at my house. You have a few more ingredients. Will give it a try when I find ("DAY") sherry . :) :)
Thanks for Sharing.

Brenda, not my recipe, but, a dry wine would work. I exchange those two some times.

Brenda, I do not Use Sherry in mine, as I never have this in my Pantry, and Mine Turns out Just as Yummy.
Note: Just do not over stir the Egg. . . it will break down into to many tiny bits of egg. Looks and appears better with Longer strings of egg in it.
I even add "Chopped water Chestnuts" to mine for just a little more substance to my soup.
