Simple Egg Drop Soup
So have you ever tried making egg drop soup and the egg turned out all broken up and your soup instead of having pieces of smooth egg became "eggy soup"??
Well, I have. So I learned how to make really good egg drop soup
Ingredients
Eggs. I usually use 1 per person
Canned Sweet Corn
Green onion
Chicken Broth
White pepper
Salt
Corn Starch
It's really easy.
First, boil some water and add chicken broth to the water to add flavor. This is the secret to really good chicken broth.
Next, beat the eggs. Chop up green onions. Prepare a medium bowl of Corn Starch mixed w/ water.
When the water/broth comes to a boil, dump in the corn. Taste it and see if it's salty enough. If not, add salt.
Now, remove it from the heat, stir in the corn starch until the soup thickens.
Put the soup back on the heat, bring to boil, then turn off the heat and remove the soup from the stove.
Oh, you probably want to ask me about the eggs. Yes, you add the eggs now, after you've removed it from the heat, so that the eggs can be smooth.
There, you're done. Add white pepper and green onions before serving.
I promise it's good.
