Egg drop soup also is known as egg flower soup. You probably ordered it many times from a Chinese restaurant. Today, I am going to show you 2 easy ways to make it.
🥢 RECIPE
Basic egg drop soup [serve 2]
- 2 cups of chicken stock
- The white part of the onion
- 1.5 tbsp of cornstarch + 1.5 tbsp of chicken stock
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp of salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp of white pepper
- The green part of the onion for garnish
Tomato egg drop soup [serve 2]
- 1 small tomato diced
- 1 clove of garlic grated
- 1 tsp of ginger finely diced
- 1/2 tbsp of white of the spring onion
- 2 tsp of oil
- 1/2 tsp of salt or to taste
- 1 tsp of sugar
- 2.5 cups of chicken stock
- 1.5 tbsp of cornstarch + 1.5 tbsp of chicken stock
- 2 eggs
- Some spring onion for garnish
INSTRUCTION FOR THE BASIC EGG DROP SOUP
- Crack 2 eggs and beat it well.
- In a clean pot. Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock and add some white part of spring onion. You can also use water, but chicken stock provides much more flavor. Bring this to a boil.
- While waiting, mix 1.5 tbsp of cornstarch and 1.5 tbsp of water together.
- When the chicken stock is boiling. Slowly pour in the cornstarch water and stir it at the same time so it doesn’t clump up. In less than a minute, the stock should be slightly thickened.
- Next, it is the egg drop part. Make sure you stir it while adding the egg. In this way, you create an extra silky egg drop soup.
- Add some salt and white pepper to taste. Serve it in a bowl. Sprinkle some spring onion.
This is the most basic egg drop soup that you will find in your local Chinese restaurant. In my family, we usually make the one that has tomato in it.
INSTRUCTION FOR THE TOMATO EGG DROP SOUP
- Diced a small tomato
- Add some oil to the pot, along with some aromatics - grated garlic, ginger, and a little bit white part of the spring onion. Stir them until fragrant.
- Add in the diced tomato. Saute it for about a minute. You will see the tomato became saucy. Add some sugar and a salt to taste. If you want to be creative, you can add some protein at this point, such as minced meat, tofu slices. I just want this soup to be simple, salt and sugar is enough to make a good flavor.
- The rest of the steps are the same. Bring this to a boil and pour in the cornstarch water. After the soup got thicken up, stir in the egg as well.
- Serve it in a bowl. Sprinkle some spring onion.
This is the style that my family makes all the time. It has a little touch of sweet and sour taste. It is very nice for such quick and easy soup. Usually, this is no the only dish that you will have on your dinner table. We will serve it with other dishes like stir-fry recipes or meat main dish. It is so soft, creamy, silky, It can go with almost any food. It is very cheap but it comforts your heart. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I made your egg drop soup with the tomato, ginger, garlic and spring onions. It was by far the best egg drop soup I have ever eaten. It was quick and very simple to make and delicious.
Wow, nice to know that you already made it.
Free2 choose I'm glad you posted this. She also inspired me so much I got the ingredients last night to make it for dinner this evening.
@@warmccl how was it?
Thanks for sharing, I'm going to make this for sure
??? guess I just saw the video. I need to make this! It looks so delicious
It's so easy and affordable, especially for college students. thanks for sharing
True
how do you get chicken stock?
@@broadwayzjm5257 knorr i think
vexonica 02 and since it’s got eggs in it, it’s got a lot of good nutrients. Win-win!
@@broadwayzjm5257 They sell it in grocery stores pre-made. That would be easiest. Cheapest (for those starving chemistry students) would be using the bullion cubes and making it with hot water 1 cube per 8 oz water.
Hey, this suddenly popped on my recommended and tried it,it was really quick and easy and i'm only 14,practicing how to cook since my both of my parents are working really far from home,and nobody does the cooking for me,thank you for this😊💛
Do u have pink hair and super powers
@@bakaraymoo7389 no i'm just a broke ass asian😂
A good channel for learning how to cook is Binging With Babish.
I was like you, rice and potatoes have a 1000 uses, and minced meat too if you can use a pan
@@bakaraymoo7389 SAIKI
"It comforts your heart." She is so precious.
For real
It's so nice to read the comments and see people from all over come together for some good soup and conversation. 🤗
Ohkeh 👌👌
Feel like a granny home with a big family of the world
Fly Freely soup unites us!
Yes! Her soup is being enjoyed in Las Vegas, Nevada-USA.
I feel blessed to have found this young ladies channel!

It's the simplest things that comfort us and warm our hearts, isn't it?
You are so right.
So you could say... its the egg that binds us...? ;)
Yeah.. You mean money? 🤑 I'm agree 😀
I'm sick and looking for a soup recipe and this recipe pops up 😍
I made the second version egg drop soup for my mother (who was Covid-positive and had to rest) despite my limited cooking experience and although its something from a cuisine that we're not familiar with, it turned out so delicious and comforting (I now have a new fond memory because of it) Thank you for the recipe!
I hope your mom recovered. ❤️
I like to put a scoop of rice in a bowl, fill the bowl with this soup, then add a handful of fried wonton chips to the top. Comfort food on steroids. ;-)
Oh man you just gave me some ideas!!!
Sounds delicious
Sir, as an Asian, that is very very much the best thing. It's always a hit.
Nature Boy thank you for the tip! I’ll definitely try that
Nature Boy yom
this is by far the most positive comment section I've ever seen ❤️
"unadulterated"comment section.. be creative, we're having issues with electrochemical magnetical engineering words being used innappropriately, but yes very nice!
Ooma, unadulterated means it hasn't been changed, or had any impurities added
i dont think that is what the OP meant at all
I think they said exactly what they meant
you were trying to make a joke or are you just stupid?
if you were making a joke, you failed
if you are just stupid, my condolences
the original comment should have remained unadulterated
(im here to fix the ratio of negative/positive)
@@wrongfootmcgee no, we're trying to break the very bad habit, of using ± (positive & negative) electromagnetic terms to mean (good & bad), there is nothing especially good about 'positive' connections or magnetic fields, nor especially bad about the 'negative', whoever coined the usage, was stupid.. with obviously no scientific education, having a 'positive' experience means absolutely nothing, but adds an innappropriate connotation to engineering terms
unadulterated, meaning nothing especially bad or potentially harmful has been added, as in not many or any folks messed up or spammed the comments section, but overall unadulterated more clearly implies nothing adult has been added, like alcohol or sex, really, or simply that nothing at all has been added, whether bad or good, the original hasn't been tampered with
unadulterated oatmeal, no sugar no salt no honey no butter, pure oats.. but kids generally hate it and it's not as nutritious
I thought you were just playing words games, but it sounds like you are serious, calling the scientists of old who settled on the words to use "stupid"... I sincerely doubt you know very much about magnetism or electical theory... if you did, you would understand why those words were chosen.
It seems to me
that you should buy
a dictionary
you have positively put the cart before the horse in terms of what usage came first.... the meaning of these words remain wholly unadulterated by your overall negative and incorrect definitions.
Said another way: you don't get to change what words mean just because you think you're smarter than everyone else.
This is something that is done by society at large, over time, and only when necessary.
An example is the word "consumer". The word once carried a NEGATIVE connotation, but as the capitalist and industrial world bloomed, the word came to mean something different, and was no longer used as a NEGATIVE, but instead became more of a NEUTRAL term.
It's her voice and no corny music 👍
I made this and all of my guest's loved it.There was no leftovers and i made a triple batch !!!! THANK YOU for the video!!
My mother always adds corn and tomatoes to her egg drop soup, and she would make a giant pot of it. I loved it so much; we rarely had any leftover after dinner.
I’ve tried to make this soup so many times without a recipe and I didn’t know you had to put corn starch in it to prevent the eggs from just clumping! This turned out amazing!! I cooked mine with tofu and bok choy
there's something peaceful feeling in this video. I'm not sure but I think it's her Voice.
Armand Palanginan, it’s because she’s not shouting at the camera and there isn’t annoying music in the background.
@@hotjanuary I like the slurping part
I just wanna hug her and kiss her every time she says oil and boil!
Egg drop soup is not familiar in my country, actually yours is the first egg droup soup i ever know. It was raining, i followed your recipe, and got a really amazing experience with my first bowl of egg droup soup. Thanks a lot 😻😻💓💓❤❤
@William Chew Sounds good! I'm going to try it for sure, thanksss
_"Egg drop soup is not familiar in my country"_
What country to you live in?
@@Kman. Apparently it exists but not as popular as other chinese style soups so i wasn't aware of the dish back then
@@annemone4758 I get that...where is it you live was the question.
@@Kman. somewhere to the south of pluto
"Cheap but comforts your heart" i felt that ❤❤🥣🍲
Excellent recipe ideas. I'm always trying to find new ways to use my ingredients so I buy (and waste) less. I always keep onions, tomatoes and eggs in my house. Nice easy way to make them more unique and less monotonous.
More Soup recipes coming soon. Hope you enjoy and share!
Thank you! The second one looks especially awesome! I hope you will teach us Hot and Sour. It is my favorite!!
LOL! Soon =)
I just came to the comments to ask for more soup recipes! :) can’t wait! Can you teach us more traditional healthy soups too? Thank you and love all your videos !!
Yummmmmmm😎
Erm, is there a recipe for that stir fried chicken of yours? If so, could you please post a video of it? Caught only like a couple of seconds of it, but damn it looks good.
This is one of my favorite soups! I had no idea it was so easy. Thank you
A couple years ago, there was a foreign exchange student from China that decided to tell my teacher and I how to make egg drop soup. I couldn’t remember what all she said besides adding tomatoes, so I looked it up, and this recipe has been crazy good! It’s really nice to have, especially on a cold, rainy day. Something about it just feels comforting and somehow nostalgic??? Even though I’ve never had egg drop soup before this
One of my favorite memories is when I was in college, sitting in my car during winter before a class while on my lunch break, and sipping egg drop soup while it pours outside. ✨
Okay, I have to stop watching, because I'm getting hungry and it's too late at night to eat! I think I will add some tofu to this soup, yummy!
Deb Wennerholt : add Japanese type egg tofu...
very rich, but yes can be yummy
Same here, am hungry too but too tired to cook this late at night.
Oh yes! I made this yesterday for dinner and I add shrimp flavored tofu, it tasted great.
My favorite of all soups lol. There's something so comforting about egg drop soup.
I never cared for it but my mom LOVES this! She actually judges restaurants on theur egg drop soup. I'm making this for her birthday!
Will make this for sure! Driving an 18 wheeler I'm pretty much limited to one pot recepies
my dad makes this for me every time i was sick so i’m glad i saw this! when he’s sick next time i’ll make him some ☺️
Empty Space aw, c’mon don’t wait until he is sick.
Robert Sherman you’re right i think i’m going to make it for him soon !
Empty Space Okay that’s so sweet I’m crying lmao
Sent this to my mother, she loves soup. Unfortunately i live 8hrs from her. I would Love to make it for her as a surprise. I love to cook, especially Asian dishes. Mostly Chines ones. I watch your channel because you are talented and professional and I admire that :)
I know im a year late...but dude thats wholesome
Love the addition of garlic, ginger, and tomato! My new favorite
My first exposure to egg drop soup was actually my first deployment on a Navy ship. The galley made this quite often. I'm guessing because it's cheap and easy. Either way, I loved it then and I love it now. Good stuff.
I modified it a bit, changed it with mushroom broth, add sauteed mushrooms, also couple drops of sesame oil - even after end up with lil too much grated ginger (cause i couldn't care less to really measure it correctly) it was absolutely delicious! A fantastic meal for rainy days for sure and probably as hangover soup as well
I'm Hispanic and sometimes wen my mom isn't in the mood to cook something elaborate she'll make a Lipton brand noodle soup from a box but she'll add egg to it and it gives it more flavor and we'll eat it with an egg flavored bagel with butter.
But I plan to make your soups!
Priscilla Jimenez mi mamá prepara la sopa de la misma forma, con fideos y huevo ❤️🙏
I take care of my baby sister, and she loves soup, and I was searching for varieties, but still simple, this is perfect. Am gonna make her some. Thanks for sharing!
Omg you're such a sweet brother.
This is the best part about being sick, you get to have delicious soups.
I made an adaption of this for breakfast and it was so so good ^^. It is really hot where I live right now, so my appetit is low and I need all the salt and liquid I can get, so a light soup is ideal.
I used water and a piece of kombu to add some umami and depth to it. Salt, scallion, arrowroot flour to thicken it and egg, thats all and it was great! Totaly gone make it again and then I play a bit with what to add, tomatos sadly are a thing I can not have, but maybe finely diced carrots, stinging nettle, creminis . . .
It is such a light and fast meal and has an adictiv quality to it. I think it also makes a great dish for when I am sick.
Thanks for shareing ^^
Thank you so much for this recipe. I love egg drop soup. I tried making it at home, but it never turned out well. I didn't know about adding the cornstarch. Thank you again, for allowing an old dog to learn a new trick. I love your videos.
Thank you! 😊 My entire family was thrilled "now knowing mommy can make their favorite Chinese soup". I also make chicken congee, they love that too! Yummy! Thank you again!
For anyone reading these comments wondering if the recipe is worth making, the answer is YES 🙌🏼
And same goes for all her recipes! I’m go glad I found this channel 🎉❤
Thanks for sharing. I am sick and I have Amazon delivering all the ingredients to my door step in 2 hours. Keep you posted.
That second version of Egg Drop soup will become my go to version! Thanks for posting such yummy recipes!
I love this recipe. Asian food is amazing, never get bored of it
I appreciate this video, short, makes it simple, unlike nearly every other video. "It comforts your heart". what a nice statement and genuine person.
Your first recipe is a reliable favorite of mine. I added a dash of garlic powder and onion powder with the salt and pepper and it was perfect
I love putting seaweed in the soup as well. This is the real comfort food that warm your stomach and your heart.
I tried out the 2nd recipe ! Didn’t have corn starch so I used corn flour turned out totally insane ! So easy, so magical when u pour in the egg my goodness so pretty 😍 so tasty and nice too ! I added soy sauce, a bit of sesame oil and some onions. Thanks for the recipe !
I don't have corn starch, I wonder if I was regular flour
Thank you so much! People like you make me love the internet!
Just made this for my parents. It was delicious and easy to make AND easy clean up! Thank you for the easy to follow instructions and new recipe in my personally cookbook for my family! Much love from Indiana!💜
Finally!!!! This is the most legit recipe for egg drop I’ve found. AWESOME
I didn’t know it’s called egg drop soup.. I love this and my father used to bring this home for me and my mother. ❤️❤️
Super easy and delicious. I have made your recipe on a number of occasion. Everyone I have made this for tells me “This is the BEST egg drop soup I’ve had it’s better than takeout” ;)
This literally something that will comfort me when I’m sick
Thank you for your videos!! My husband is on a heart healthy diet from heart issues. He misses his Chinese food. He made your 1st recipe for egg drop soup 🥣 tonight. He LOVED IT! And I had him subscribe to your channel also. Your recipe brought so much delight to him! He had to alter it to make is sodium friendly, but it came out beautifully! Thank you 🙏🏻 for all that you do!
👍🏻👍🏻
❤️
I hope your hasspand is doinh ok
Terri Eplen-Kleen you do need to know that if your husband is buying chicken stock from the store that it’s all salt. Heavy saturated salt which is incredibly bad for his heart. The Chinese culturally make their own chicken stock when making this soup at home and is very healthy.
Please have you and your husband find TH-cam videos on how to make your own chicken stock. It’s not only healthy and good for his body but tastes amazing compared to the store bought, unhealthy stock!
But I wish him all the health xox
Use egg whites instead of whole eggs
My favorite soup of all time explained in a little over 4 minute video. ❤
What I love about it is the taste of pure egg yolk !
Xiexie ni!!!! Mexican dude here....I love cooking Chinese food....and I just got the biggest compliment from my Chinese friend.....she said it actually tasted like real Chinese food....thanks to you!!!love the content and I'm happy to keep watching.
Love the idea of tomato in the soup, thank you!
Again, thank you!! I have always wondered how to introduce the egg to the soup. You are a great teacher!!
I miss my Chinese best friend Tina
Who
Used to cook and teach me all this recipes.lots of love to Chinese people from US.
Super delicious simple recipe, thanks for sharing my friend.🙏
"Its cheap but it comforts the heart"
Best saying any chef should say!

This is the only egg drop soup video that makes any sense thank u!
I like that, it comforts your heart. I need that, I’ve had Covid for a week, I really long week, now my poor wife has been infected. ❤️🙏
I think this is my favorite ever. It’s so nice and wholesome.
I have eaten egg drop soup at many restaurants and love it. Your's sound great and have me hungry for some right now. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
I am sooo glad I've found your channel! I'll be making this soup tonight!
Thank you for this recipe! Egg drop soup is my family and I's favorite part of our meal when we eat a Chinese restaurant. I wanted to learn to make it myself, and your recipe turned out really good. My family enjoyed it.
I love how you give your instructions and mostly your soothing voice💕thank you for sharing
After watching this, I got up and made the soup. It’s so easy and tasty!! Loved the second version you made. So flavorful!

When my friends started eating it; smiles came over their faces! Thankyou so much for all your wonderful recipe videos! 😊💓 PS- I ordered a wok and cant wait to learn so much more from you!
I come back to this video every single time I want egg drop soup. It is simply the absolute best and I thank you for that so so much!!
ULTIMATE COMFORT FOODDDDDD
I’m making your tomato egg drop soup as I type. Just added the cornstarch + chicken broth mix and currently waiting for the broth to boil so the eggs can be poured in.
Maybe it’s because I’ve strived off bland food since Thanksgiving, but god it smells so good! It’s making my mouth water and my stomach growl. The fragrance reminds me of my mother’s tom yum soup, albeit the spices. Can’t wait to dig in.
This was in my recommended vids. Not complaining. I flipping love egg drop soup. Thanks for the recipe.
I made your recipe! Was quite delicious and comforting. Thank you for sharing. I realized the chicken stock I used already provided enough salty taste so I didn’t really need to add much more. The spring onion really tastes good with this soup.
You are an excellent instructor!
I made this today, but since I didnt have any tomato, I skipped tomato and added sliced fresh mushroom as filling. I shared it with my husband who is not feeling very well....and he loved it! Thank you! Will definitely make this again soon!
I made the basic recipe and it is delicious! My family loves it.
I love making egg drop style miso and seaweed version for breakfast.
I truly am a fan of hers! She makes it look so simple!!
This is so easy to make. It is delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the recipe
Thank you for excellent video - you are a thorough and patient teacher. I look forward to learning from your gentle spirit!
You speak so well. Your recipes are simple and quick. Thank you for sharing. May your hands always be blessed .
I love listening to you speak! Your voice and accent are so pretty! :)
She has a nice personality.
o.O
Not into soup?
So easy and lovely, thank you! I've never made egg drop soup before, but your tomato recipe turned out beautifully, and my family loved it!
This was awesome! And so simple to make, thank you for the recipe!
SO GOOOD!!! I added ramen noodles without the seasoning mix this was delicious!
It's simple to make, and very healthy as well. With more vegetables added, it can be a meal on its own.
I like to add sweet corn and minced meat into my egg drop soup as well. Creamy sweet and savoury 😊
Thank you for the recipe!
I cannot wait to make this!!!! I never would have thought that tomato would work!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Tried your recipe and just top it with toasted garlic and it's so great for this cold weather. Thank you😊
I tried your family recipe version, and I'm so glad you shared it. It was such a delicious upgrade from the ordinary egg drop soup. I'm definitely adding tofu next time
This video brought me a lot of comfort and happiness
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
I like your speaking voice. So calm
Thank you so much for sharing this receipe❤ I made the tomato version as a base for rice soup and my whole family loved it
You really have a special gift. Not only are your recipes wonderful but your personality and your sweer appearance are adorable. You are going to be famous.
Very clear instructions. Thank you!
After watching your video, I had to made this! I got those ingredients at home already. Just had to substitute with can diced tomatoes. Straight to the kitchen and made it. Delicious! Super light comfy food. Thx for the recipe😋
Thank you so much for this.! I made it today. I didn't have onion leaves, so I used leaks instead. And it came out pretty well. The taste was incredible.! My puppy loved it more than me, he drank a whole lot of it.! Thank you ❤️
Love this recipe! Thanks so much.
OMG one of my most favorite soups of all time. TH-cam recommendation done right. Definitely going to try this!
