Egg Drop Soup

This delightful Egg Drop Soup is the perfect quick meal that can be made in just 10 minutes, outshining your favorite takeout options. With its silky texture and comforting flavors, it begins with a simple broth and seasonings, thickened to perfection with a cornstarch slurry. The magic happens when you create a whirlpool effect in the pot, allowing the eggs to gently swirl in, resulting in tender strands of egg. Finished with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of green onions, this soup is not only comforting but incredibly satisfying for any time of day!
