Egg Drop Soup Variations


These would be added after the seasonings. After adding, let the soup cook for a few more minutes and then add the beaten egg.


**1/2 cup frozen peas.


**If you are preparing the soup for someone who is ill, try adding a slice of fresh, grated ginger. Among its many benefits, ginger is believed to be helpful in treating colds and flue.





Egg Drop Soup is frequently thickened with cornstarch in restaurants. To add a cornstarch thickener, mix 2 - 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/2 cup water. Just before adding the beaten egg, stir in the cornstarch/water mixture, remove the soup from the heat, and then add the beaten egg.


If you like this recipe, you might want to try Tomato Egg Drop Soup, made with tomato and seasonings, or West Lake Beef Egg Drop Soup, a variation of basic Egg Drop Soup made with ground beef.

4 cups prepared chicken stock, plus 2 tablespoons


1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger


1 tablespoon soy sauce


1 tablespoon cornstarch

Bring soup stock, grated ginger and soy sauce to a boil. In a small cup, make a slurry by combining the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of chicken stock. Stir until dissolved. Slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture while stirring the stock, until thickened. Reduce heat to a simmer. Pour in the eggs slowly while stirring the soup in the same direction. The egg will spread and feather. Turn off the heat and add the green onions. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately
