How to Make egg drop soup

Eggs? Soup? What?! You'd be amazed how delicious egg drop soup can be. Check out this video for a tutorial on how to make it.

Follow these steps to make delicious, restaurant-style egg drop soup.

Step 1: Combine corn starch and broth

Pour three-quarters of a cup of the chicken broth into a small bowl. Add the corn starch and mix together. Then set it aside.

Step 2: Boil remaining chicken broth

Put the remaining chicken broth in a large saucepan and add the ginger, chives, and salt. Stir and bring to a boil.

TIP: For a lighter dish, use fat-free chicken broth.

Step 3: Whisk eggs

Use a fork to whisk the eggs and the egg yolk in a small bowl. Add the eggs to the boiling broth a little at a time, letting the egg drizzle from the fork. Cook until the eggs are opaque, about one to two minutes.

Step 4: Stir cornstarch

Remove half a cup of the soup into a measuring cup or bowl. Stir in the cornstarch until there are no lumps, and then pour the mixture back into the soup. Stir, and continue boiling until the soup thickens.

Step 5: Enjoy

Enjoy your egg drop soup. Don't forget the fortune cookies!
