High Protein Classic Egg Drop Soup

Description

Egg drop soup is a comforting Chinese dish with delicate ribbons of egg swirled into a savory, lightly thickened broth, often flavored with soy sauce and garnished with green onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups bone/chicken broth (I recommend Kettle & Fire for its 19g of protein per box)
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper (black pepper works too)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 teaspoon turmeric (optional; enhances yellow color without altering taste)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 1/4 cup water)
  • 2 eggs, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
  • Optional: Drizzle of roasted sesame oil and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small pot over medium heat, bring the broth to a gentle simmer. Stir in the white pepper, salt, and turmeric (if using).
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until fully dissolved. Slowly pour this mixture into the simmering broth, stirring continuously to slightly thicken the soup.
  3. Turn off the heat. Using a spoon or whisk, stir the broth for 15 seconds into one direction to create a whirlpool. Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin stream while avoiding touching the broth to create delicate egg ribbons.
  4. Serve hot with an optional drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of green onions.
