Vegetable Egg Drop Soup
Warm up to a BIG Bowl of the most delicious “Vegetable Egg Drop Soup“. This popular Chinese soup it’s super simple to make and believe it or not very filling. Not to mention inexpensive and addicting!
We are in the middle of winter here now in Canada and people have been getting sick left right and center with colds and the flu. Me included, whenever this time of year rolls around I tend to stay home more and prepare heartwarming soups for me and whoever is around.
Egg drop soup is one of those easy to make and hearty soups that warms the body and heals it too. Now what more could you want in a soup? Matter of fact after this post I will make some. I could it this soup all day everyday!
I always order egg drop soup whenever I go to any chinese restaurant, I just love it. Most restaurants serve it without the vegetables, however I like to add vegetable to it as it makes it more filling and healthy and can serve as the main course this way.
Which I will enjoy for lunch or dinner whenever I’m in the mood.
This recipe is quick to make because all we are doing is basically bringing the soup to a simmer and cooking it over medium heat for roughly 15 minutes.
If you want bigger chunks of egg then you will want to stir it less near the end. I prefer it more like this so I will stir it allot near the end so it breaks up. Also you can add three to four eggs if desired, after all it’s your soup.
The type of frozen mixed Vegetables I like to use
Also make sure your using a quality chicken stock, because you will be adding some low sodium soy sauce that will allow for just the right amount of salt in this soup.
