Savor a bowl of Classic Egg Drop Soup

Savor a bowl of Classic Egg Drop Soup

you will love this soup !!
-I’ve always added ginger, preferably fresh grated, but powdered will do, and lemon grass to my Egg Drop Soup, but never sesame oil or sherry!! They sound like a great option!!

-I am so happy I finally tried making my own Egg Drop Soup at home. Your recipe is super easy to make and very delish!! Thanks for sharing. Even my husband who had never tasted Egg Drop Soup loved it. I did add a little shredded chicken to his just for some addt’l protein. I was happy he liked it cause I am making it again this week.
-I made this soup today…
I wish I had bought the low sodium broth as it is VERY salty.
I would also make it a bit thicker, which I can just use a tad more cornstarch….has anyone tried this recipe without the sesame oil?
I’m thinking next time I will omit it…..we’ll see.
All in all it has a good flavor 🙂
-I have cooking sherry will this work??? And how much does the dark sesame oil bring to the soup, I don’t have it and would rather not have to go to the store for just two teaspoons? My husband loves this kind of soup and I would love to make it for him. Thanks for the info!
