Egg drop soup is a popular dish in many Asian countries and takes different forms or variations. This primal version uses simple and wholesome ingredients like onion, celery, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil to flavor the chicken broth. Arrowroot or cornstarch are used to thicken the soup and contribute to its smooth texture. Eggs are gently poured in to form ribbons of cooked egg. Pepper, chili pepper flakes and garlic powder garnish the dish. It is perfect to warm you up on a chilly day or when you need a comforting meal without too much fuss.
