Egg Drop Soup (Restaurant Style)
Description: I came up with this recipe while searching for the perfect "Egg Drop Soup". My picky 9 year old likes it, so I feel it is kid friendly.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups chicken broth, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
Steps:
- Reserve 3/4 cup of chicken broth, and pour the rest into a large saucepan.
- Stir the salt, ginger and chives into the saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil.
- In a cup or small bowl, stir together the remaining broth and cornstarch until smooth.
- Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together using a fork.
- Drizzle egg a little at a time from the fork into the boiling broth mixture.
- Egg should cook immediately.
- Once the eggs have been dropped, stir in the cornstarch mixture gradually until the soup is the desired consistency.
