Easy and yummy. Perfect for sick tummies.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat broth in saucepan to boiling.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, scramble eggs well. You can add the cornstarch to help keep the eggs in larger lumps in the soup.
  3. 3
    Remove pan from heat once broth is boiling.
  4. 4
    GENTLY stir in eggs. The more you stir the smaller the egg 'drops' will be.
  5. 5
    Taste. Add salt if desired. Onion salt is really yummy here!
  6. 6
    Garnish with chopped green onion.
  7. 7
    NOTE: for sick tummies try adding a little lemon juice and leave out the salt and onion. This was the ONLY thing my Daddy could eat when going through chemo.

    Wow! What a wonderful soup. I doubled the recipe and it still went in a matter of minutes. I never thought I could pull off such an authentic tasting Chinese food. For a second I thought I was in my favorite Chinese restaurant. Thanks so much for the AMAZING recipe!

    LOVED it! I added the ginger as another recommeded, and served it with Easy cheese scones - in a hurry to my little sickies at home. Very soothing!

    This is exactly the way I make my egg drop soup, Mama...Excellent stuff! I play "Chinese Buffet" with my friends sometimes when we have dinner parties and there's never a drop left, but how easy is it when you crave it? I mean..who needs leftovers. We prepare all of our favorite foods from the Chinese buffet, including those little fried biscuits! I'm glad you posted so I didn't have to!
