This delicious Egg Drop soup is easily made in your own kitchen with only all natural ingredients at a fraction of the cost of eating out. It brings green onions, ginger, chicken broth and eggs together in perfect harmony for an ultra tasty yet simple soup. I love to serve it with any kind of stir fry or Chinese appetizer. It really makes a tasty addition to a small dinner party or Saturday night wok stir fry.

1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
4 green onion chopped (white and green parts separated)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 eggs lightly beaten

How To Make egg drop soup

Step 1

In a small bowl whisk together the cornstarch and 1 cup chicken broth; set it aside.

Step 2

Heat sesame oil in a dutch oven or heavy stockpot over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onion; cooking and stirring for 1 minute. Add the ginger, turmeric, and white pepper; cooking and stirring for about 45 seconds. Pour in the remaining 5 cups of chicken broth. Whisk in the chicken broth mixed with the cornstarch. Bring the pot to a low simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
Step 3

Pour the beaten eggs into a pastry bag or zipper lock storage bag and snip the corner creating just a very small hole. Move the bag over the pot gently pushing the eggs out of the bag while very slowly stirring the pot with a spoon using your other hand. The key here is very slowly.
Step 4

Finally spoon the soup into bowls and garnish with the green parts of the scallions.
