Egg Drop Soup
Egg Drop Soup is so quick and easy to prepare at home and this recipe totally rivals your favorite take out!
One of the joys of moving to Oklahoma has been the occasional trip into town for Chinese takeout. A little cup of Egg Drop Soup is always a must for Emmet, it is his favorite.
Ingredients for Egg Drop Soup:
- Chicken Broth
- Eggs
- Toasted Sesame Oil
- Soy Sauce
- Corn Starch
- Ginger
- Green Onions
Take out is great, but I have to tell you Egg Drop Soup is so easy to make at home! It has been a while since I have made it. I couldn’t find the recipe that I thought was stuck in my giant binder of miscellaneous recipes that I have stashed away over time.
So I looked at about fifty- dozen different recipes across the internets and added in some toasted sesame oil. It was ready in about 5 minutes. Now you can’t beat that.

I’ve always loved this soup and now I can make it at home! It looks perfect!
This is such comfort food, and I love how easy it is to make!
Milisa, What a lovely and simple version of a soup that one of our family favorites too. My favorite part is the egg – how the strands look so delicate and add such a smooth taste to the chicken soup. It’s still chilly here in the MidAtlantic – I feel like running over to the stove and whipping up a batch right now!
Egg drop soups are plain simple gorgeous. Love the fact that you kept it really simple.
I’ve never had egg drop soup, and have clearly been missing out! This looks like perfect comfort food!
I loved Egg Drop Soup as a kid…ordered it without fail every time we ordered Chinese. Oddly enough, I haven’t had it in years. I need to remedy that situation, because I just want to reach in and grab that bowl!
Love this recipe,I’m going to try this using egg whites,or I wonder if egg beaters would work. Everyone loves this one.
Thanks Missy
This is THE soup I want when I am sick. And of course I love it when I am not sick.
Maybe I was Chinese in a past life???? Lol. Tasty version of it.
