Egg Drop Soup
Gluten-Free
Nut-Free
Vegetarian
Egg Drop soup doesn’t have to be gloopy and bland. Simply adding vegetables and other greens ramps up the flavor and comfort quotient.
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tbs. mirin (rice wine)
- 1 tbs. minced fresh ginger
- 1 carrot, sliced thinly
- 8 snow peas, sliced thinly
- 1 cup shredded napa cabbage
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast or 1 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tbs. potato starch or cornstarch (optional)
- 1 tbs. tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
- 3 large eggs, well beaten
- 2 scallions, finely chopped, or 1/2 cup chopped watercress
STEP 1
Bring the broth to a simmer with the mirin and ginger.
STEP 2
Add the carrot, snow peas, cabbage, and chicken or mushrooms, and simmer until vegetables are just cooked.
STEP 3
If using the potato starch or cornstarch, mix it with 1/4 cup cold water and stir into the simmering soup. Simmer until slightly thickened.
STEP 4
Add the tamari and sesame oil and then stir in the eggs. The egg will cook into thin “ribbons.”
STEP 5
Cook for one to two minutes more and then serve topped with chopped scallions or watercress.
