Tips for Making Egg Drop Soup
For a flawless soup, use these tips. You’ll want to ensure your broth is simmering gently before adding the egg mixture to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Then, whisk the eggs lightly with a small amount of broth to create a thin, even mixture before drizzling. And finally, make your soup your own with garnishes such as chopped scallions, cilantro, or sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal. We’ve used bone broth as the base for its protein benefits, but you can swap it out with a broth of your choice if you’d rather experiment with a different kind. The beauty of soups and stews is that they leave a lot of room for imagination!

Egg Drop Soup
Description
A comfort food for all occasions.
Instructions
-
In a quart saucepan, heat bone broth until lightly simmering
-
In a bowl, crack eggs and lightly beat them. (It’s okay if the white and yolk do not fully mix.)
-
With a large spoon, stir your broth lightly in a circular motion to get a little whirlpool going. As the broth is being stirred, slowly add in your egg. Once the egg is being added, do not over-stir. You want little ribbons of cooked egg.
-
Once all the egg is cooked, top Egg Drop Soup with fresh green onion and cracked black pepper, and serve.
