Scallion Egg Drop Soup Recipes

SCALLION EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, heat broth, scallions and soy sauce to simmering. Set aside 2 tablespoons broth. With soup simmering, drizzle in beaten eggs as you lightly stir them in. The eggs will cook within seconds.
• Mix cornstarch into reserved broth to create a slurry. Gently stir slurry into soup so it thickens slightly.
• Add peppers to taste, and enjoy!

GINGER SCALLION EGG-DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Smash 3 scallions and cut into 2-inch pieces, then put in a 2-quart saucepan with water, broth, ginger, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then poach chicken at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let broth steep, covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop remaining 3 scallions and shred chicken.
• Discard scallions and ginger from broth and bring to a brisk simmer. Add beaten eggs in a slow stream, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in scallions, chicken, and white pepper (if using). Serve drizzled with sesame oil.

RESTAURANT STYLE EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Reserve 3/4 cup of chicken broth, and pour the rest into a large saucepan. Stir the salt, ginger and chives into the saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the remaining broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together using a fork. Drizzle egg a little at a time from the fork into the boiling broth mixture. Egg should cook immediately. Once the eggs have been dropped, stir in the cornstarch mixture gradually until the soup is the desired consistency.

EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups stock to a boil over medium-high heat in a 6- to 8-cup saucepan. Beat remaining stock with eggs and soy sauce until well blended.
• When stock is boiling, adjust heat so it bubbles frequently but not furiously. Add the egg mixture in a steady stream, stirring occasionally until eggs gather together in small curds, 2 or 3 minutes.
• Taste, and add salt if necessary (or more soy sauce). Then add plenty of pepper, the scallions and the sesame oil. Taste again, adjust seasonings and serve.
