Egg Drop Soup (also called Egg Flower Soup) is a Chinese soup made with chicken stock, eggs, thinly sliced green onions (and in this recipe, peas), and is hands down one of the easiest soup

recipes you will ever make. This soup is appropriately called Egg Drop Soup or Egg Flower Soup because the eggs are literally 'dropped' into the chicken stock and then gently swished around in the stock with a pair of chopsticks, creating wispy 'flower' shapes.

This Egg Drop Soup recipe adds a hint of ginger flavor by boiling some slices of fresh ginger root with the chicken stock for only a moment, then the ginger is removed and the subtle flavor remains (if you're not a ginger fan, you can omit this step). This recipe also adds some peas for added flavor and texture.

Chances are most of us have eaten at a Chinese restaurant, and have had the

opportunity to try a bowl of Egg Drop Soup. Chances are also that if we had known how incredibly easy this soup is to make, we would have whipped up a batch for ourselves at home long ago! This is also a guilt-free soup, as one serving only contains about 100 calories.
