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.

When eggs are frozen, they turn rubbery. As a result, freeze the broth and add the eggs when ready to serve. This will be the finest reheated soup you’ve ever had!

  • 2 big, lightly beaten eggs

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
