Eggdrop soup is a classic Chinese dish known for its simplicity and warmth. Made primarily of chicken broth, beaten eggs are gently stirred in to create delicate ribbons of egg throughout the soup. Frequently, additional ingredients such as scallions, white pepper, and cornstarch for thickening are included, and variations may feature tofu, vegetables, or mushrooms. This soup is low in calories, high in protein, and contains essential nutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium, thanks to the eggs. Its broth can also provide hydration and help soothe digestion. While generally considered healthy, sodium content can be high depending on the preparation, especially in restaurant versions or pre-made mixes. With its light texture and nourishing qualities, eggdrop soup makes for a comforting and versatile dish, whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal.
