About Egg flower soup

Egg Flower Soup, also known as Egg Drop Soup, is a traditional Chinese dish prized for its simplicity and comfort. Made by pouring whisked eggs into a pot of boiling chicken or vegetable broth, the eggs form delicate, ribbon-like shapes. The soup often includes ingredients like green onions, ginger, and cornstarch for added flavor and texture, while optional additions such as tofu, peas, or mushrooms can enhance its nutritional profile. Low in calories and fat, Egg Flower Soup is a light yet satisfying option that provides a moderate amount of protein from the eggs. However, its sodium content can be high, depending on the type of broth or seasoning used, so mindful preparation is key for those monitoring their sodium intake. Quick to prepare and full of character, this dish exemplifies the simple elegance of Chinese cuisine.
