Learn how to make homemade egg drop soup just like you’d order at the Chinese restaurant or buffet! This recipe is so simple, so delicious and uses ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Next time you order out Chinese, give this a try while you’re waiting for delivery!

What you’ll need:
32 ounces low sodium chicken stock or broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
dash white pepper (or black)
1 Tbsp white wine
2 Tbsp cornstarch
3 large eggs
scallions or green onions

In a pot or pan, pour in chicken stock or broth. Add in salt, sugar, white pepper and white wine. In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch with 3-4 Tbsp water to make a slurry and add to chicken stock mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Next, whisk together the eggs and 1 Tbsp water in a measuring cup. Once chicken broth has come to a boil, remove from heat and slowly pour in eggs in a steady and small stream. Let sit 1 minute and return to heat and bring just to a bubble. Stir once or twice and then ladle into bowls. Top with sliced scallion and enjoy! Makes 1 quart (4 servings) of egg drop soup. Enjoy!!

  1. I love egg drop soup, but I have to work really hard to convince myself it's not mucus floating around in there while im eating it😂

  2. Tysm! I found your video about 3 months ago and I now make this 3x a week. Perfect treat for incoming winter on the east coast.

    I also add 1tbsp sesame seed oil and a full 1/4 tsp white pepper instead of a dash…. Spices it up perfectly.

  3. Watching this while I eat my boiled chicken broth and scrambled eggs because I didn't know what I was doing

  4. OMG!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! O just made this soup today & its FANTASTIC!! I added a few sauted mushrooms into it & it was THE BEST!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!

  5. When adding the egg, first stir the pot so the soup is spinning. Then drizzle your egg into the rotating soup.

  6. Your recipe looks authentic and wonderful and I saw the others online and yours looks just like the restaurant so I am definitely in tomorrow on my day off on a cold day! Yum
