SOUP WITH CHINESE EGG DROP
Everyone has probably had Chinese egg drop soup, whether at a Chinese restaurant, buffet, or takeaway.
This soup is warm and soothing, with fluffy eggs in every bowl.
I added fresh tomatoes for a pleasant tang to this recipe from my best-selling Chinese cookbook “Easy Chinese Recipes.”
My version is very similar to the one I had in Shanghai; however, it is somewhat thickened with maize starch. It’s eggy, calming, and oh-so-warming, especially on a chilly day.

INGREDIENTS:
- corn starch (2 tbsp.)
- water (three tablespoons)
- 1 can store-bought chicken broth (14 oz. / 400 g)
- 250 mL (1 cup) water
- 12 cup diced tomato
- 3 sprinklings of white pepper
- salt to taste (1/2 teaspoon)
- 2 big, lightly beaten eggs
INSTRUCTIONS:
- The first step is to combine the corn starch and water in a small basin. Stir well to incorporate all of the ingredients. Remove from the equation.
- Combine both the chicken broth and water in a pot. Bring the combination to a boil. Thicken the soup using the corn starch mixture and add the tomato, white pepper, and salt. Turn off the heat and stir the soup with a ladle. Stir the beaten eggs into the soup three times with a pair of chopsticks as soon as possible. For 2 minutes, cover the saucepan with its lid. Cooked eggs should be formed into silken threads. Serve immediately by dividing the dish into individual serving bowls.
