Egg Drop Soup (Better than Restaurant Quality!)

Egg drop soup is a favorite of mine. After many trips to different Chinese restaurants to enjoy it, I decided to create the ultimate egg drop soup recipe at home. Sesame oil is the key! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Ingredients

1 cup chicken broth
¼ teaspoon soy sauce
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons water (optional)
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
1 large egg, beaten
1 drop yellow food coloring (optional)
½ teaspoon ground white pepper (optional)
⅛ teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil.
Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved; pour into boiling broth. Stir in food coloring.
Slowly pour in beaten egg, stirring constantly; season with white pepper and salt.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives. Enjoy!
