egg drop soup
Egg drop soup is an easy recipe you can make at home.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This egg drop soup is just as good, if not better, than what you'll pick up from a restaurant. The egg adds texture and flavor to the slightly thick soup. Green onion and snow peas add a pop of fresh flavors. If you live alone or have a small family, this soup recipe is great because it does not make a lot of soup. We added the ham and loved the savory flavor it added. If you don't have ham, finely diced chicken breasts can be used (make sure they're cooked before serving).
