Really good and almost great. It was bold and strong. Very chicken-y. I appreciate that in a few minutes it made a large batch with ingredients that are always on hand. Thank you for sharing! Next time I’ll make a weaker Chicken broth and cut down the soy sauce maybe to make it more mild like what we are accustomed to here; From experience, Chinese restaurants vary widely across the states. I did add a little yellow food coloring for that “authentic” look.
I added white pepper and a touch of garlic powder… loved it.
Delicious. Added dash of fine black pepper and used onion powder, in lieu of green onion. I also would cut out 1/4-1/3 of the cornstarch, when I make it, next. Snap peas, cut in thirds, also made a crunchy addition!
I used a 32 oz box of low sodium chicken broth. One Tbsp Soy Sauce. 1/4 cup cold water. I had to add in some garlic salt and pepper, as well as just a little bit of some Korean Style Gochujang Hot Sauce. Was great in the end.
I didn’t change anything and it came out perfect! and delicious!
Made exactly as per the recipe. No changes. Might use a tad bit less soy sauce next time but I think it’s growing on me as is. Served this with vegetarian fried rice also from this site for a meatless weekday meal. Yum!
I just made this for dinner tonight. I was delicious and I had two bowls. I have tried to make soup form scratch and it never turns out. This soup is the first one I have been able to make. It was so easy.
Egg drop soup is our kids’ favorite soup at Chinese restaurants. I made it last night with homemade eggrolls. Everyone thought this soup was delicious. I made it exactly as the recipe called for with no “tweaks” and it was delicious. Since they ate it all, and I was craving it this morning, I may make another batch for this cold December day…it’s so easy!
more testing on my part but looks great and taste very good.
turned out awesome, and it was very easy to do . Just the right soup for a rainy Sunday afternoon. I added some minced fresh ginger root at the beginning to give it an extra zest.
I believe I mixed up the order of combined ingredients. But it looks similar to what I was expecting. I think I put the eggs in too soon… It tastes wonderful!
If youre used to it thick dont skip on the cornstarch
Love this soup! Make it regularly and add tofu and frozen corn to the mixture at the end for extra flavor and texture!
Made the soup according to the recipe and it turned out great!
So good! I’ve been sick and this warmed my chest up and gave me some good protein.
excellent
love it
my eggs didn’t get al stringy they just turned into tiny chunks but that’s fine it tastes the same but I did a different recipe I did a gallon ziplock bag of turkey broth with garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, cilantro, basil, salt and 1 fourth of a tsp of sugar whipped some eggs and poured them in it tastes great!
i made this but i used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and no corn starch. it really had no taste but i added lots of salt, black pepper, extra extra aminos, sesame oil, parsley flakes and tapatio. it was edible but still boring.
After having a bad bout of the stomach flu for the past couple of days, eating nothing but saltine crackers,and plain white rice this tasted so good to hubs and me.I added about three chopped green onions,no white parts as our stomachs were weak. I added about 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder,and 1/8 teaspoon of finely grated fresh ginger, ( fresh is ginger is best and good for digestion). After sipping this soup we both felt better.
I used real broth from my baked chicken. Added 1TB garlic powder 1 TB onion powder. It turned out great!
