Chinese Egg Drop Soup/ Egg Flower Soup

Hello Fellow asianaflavors!  


Let me share to you a very simple egg soup recipe called the Egg Drop Soup. This soup's main ingredient or component is none other than egg. This soup is especially designed to be thickened and otherwise bland in taste just to let the main flavor which is the Egg to stand out.  

  • 3 cups of chicken broth or stock
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of green onions, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/3 teaspoon of sesame oil (optional) 
  • 1/3 cup of frozen green peas        

In a saucepan, heat to a boil the chicken cube or natural chicken broth. Stir in the white pepper, salt and sesame oil seasoning (this one is optional). Drop the frozen green peas into the saucepan mixture. Then create egg shreds or strips by stirring in your first lightly beaten egg. Upon boiling, gradually add your cornstarch and water mixture to thicken. Set aside for some time to let it cool down a bit. Then finally add the last egg into the soup, this time forming extra-thin shreds of the egg. Lastly, garnish now the thick soup with the green or spring onions. This soup is good for 3 persons.
