If you\u2019ve never made egg drop soup at home, you\u2019re seriously missing out. This takeout classic is surprisingly easy to whip up\u2014and it tastes way better than most restaurant versions.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re cooking a cozy solo dinner or feeding a crowd, this recipe scales beautifully. Just remember the golden rule: 1 egg per cup (240 ml) of broth<\/strong>. The best part? It takes just 10 minutes<\/strong> to make from start to finish!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    1 Tbsp (15 ml) avocado oil<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    2 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    1 tsp freshly grated ginger<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    3 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    1 Tbsp (8 g) tapioca starch (optional, for thickening)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    4 cups (960 ml) chicken broth<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    1 Tbsp (15 ml) coconut aminos (or soy sauce if preferred)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    2 tsp (10 ml) toasted sesame oil<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    4 large eggs, beaten<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. \n

      Heat it up:<\/strong>
      Place a medium saucepan or skillet over medium heat<\/strong> and warm until hot.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Saut\u00e9 aromatics:<\/strong>
      Add avocado oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Stir in garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Saut\u00e9 until fragrant, about 1 minute.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      (Optional) Prep thickener:<\/strong>
      If using tapioca starch for a thicker soup, dissolve it in 1 cup of the chicken broth<\/strong> and set aside.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Add the liquids:<\/strong>
      Pour the remaining chicken broth, coconut aminos, and sesame oil into the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer<\/strong>, then turn off the heat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      Add the eggs:<\/strong>
      Stir the broth in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) with a spoon to create a gentle swirl. Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin, steady stream.<\/p>\n

      Pro tip:<\/em> Use a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring. This method gives you soft, ribbon-like egg strands\u2014classic and silky.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    6. \n

      Season and serve:<\/strong>
      Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Serving Suggestions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Serve hot on its own or pair with dumplings, stir-fried veggies, or rice for a more filling meal. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 2 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
