Not satisfied with many of the egg drop soup recipes I have come across here and elsewhere, I decided to try coming up with my own. It's not the prettiest looking soup around, but it is closer in taste and substance to what I was looking for. I may add some sweet corn next time I make it to add a little sweetness to it.

I doubled the batch added a pinch of scotch bonnet hot sauce (Sriracha will do) and DEFINITELY used light brown not black soy and No pepper.. The store did not have any bok choy so I had to settle for fresh brussels sprouts... Believe it or not?? The peeled leaves of a few worked perfectly and were not too strong in flavor. I used a whole carrot and shredded instead of julienne. I also used 1 large clove of garlic and added a pinch of basil. I polished it off with 3 eggs instead of 2 and gave it a touch of pepper spiced vinegar ( rice vinegar preferred ). It was magnificent.. This recipe is very good but has some development needed.

My daughter wanted Egg Drop Soup like the soup at her favorite Chinese restaurant. I used a dash of ground ginger in place of fresh ginger and added a dash of granulated garlic. I doubled the cabbage added frozen peas & reduced cornstarch to 1/2 tsp. It was just like the restaurant! I will definitely make this again! Read More
