Egg Drop Soup Recipe: How To Make A Warm And Silky Chinese Soup Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp Editorial
Egg drop soup is a Chinese-inspired soup loved for its light broth and thin ribbons that are made of egg. Prepared with vegetable or chicken stock, chopped spring onions, garlic and a little soy sauce, it is a one-pot preparation. The trick to get thin ribbons is to pour beaten eggs slowly into the gently simmering broth while mixing in one direction, which results in soft, silky strands.
