Egg Drop Soup is a classic Chinese dish, known for its simplicity and comforting flavors. It typically consists of a light chicken or vegetable broth, silky beaten eggs that are gently stirred in to create delicate ribbons, and often includes seasonings like white pepper, sesame oil, soy sauce, and green onions. Variations may add ingredients like corn, tofu, or mushrooms for extra texture and nutrition. Low in calories and rich in protein from the eggs, it can be a wholesome option for many diets. The broth provides hydration and can be soothing, especially during cold weather or illness. However, sodium levels may be high depending on the seasoning or type of broth used, making moderation key for some dietary needs. Egg Drop Soup is loved for its versatility and quick preparation, earning its place as a staple in Chinese cuisine and beyond.
