We start many stir-fry meals with this easy egg drop soup, which cooks in just a few minutes. There are many recipe variations, but we like the addition of cornstarch to thicken the soup and give it a rich, golden color.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, flavorful broth, and crisp vegetables will make all the difference in the taste of your soup.

  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Chopped green onions, cilantro, or basil are all great options.
