Egg Drop Soup
This traditional Chinese soup is made by swirling beaten eggs into a hot broth, creating silky ribbons of cooked egg throughout the warm soup. It’s simple, comforting, and perfect for a chilly fall evening.
Ingredients
- Vital Farms Eggs
- cups chicken or vegetable broth
- teaspoon white pepper
- teaspoon turmeric powder
- teaspoon ground ginger
- teaspoon sesame oil
- salt, (to taste)
- green onions, (thinly sliced, white and green parts separated)
- tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water, (for slightly thicker broth)
Instructions
In a medium pot over medium heat add the broth, pepper, turmeric, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and the white parts of the green onion. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry in while stirring the broth until thickened. Turn heat down to medium-low.
In a bowl with a spout, whisk the eggs until smooth. Slowly add the eggs into the broth in a thin stream. Stir gently in one direction with a chopstick to create delicate ribbons. This process should take 20 – 30 seconds to pour in all the eggs.
Transfer to a soup bowl and garnish with the green parts of the green onion. Enjoy!
