How To Make quick & easy egg drop soup

  • 1
    Dissolve Better Than Bouillon in room temperature water in medium saucepan. Add cornstarch, ginger and garlic powder, whisking to combine.
  • 2
    Cook over medium heat to a low boil. Once boiling, cook for 1-2 minutes. Turn down burner to a low simmer. Pour beaten eggs into broth VERY SLOWLY while you stir in a large, slow circular motion. You don't want to stir too fast or the eggs will break up into tiny pieces. You're going for nice, long ribbons of egg.
  • 3
    Once the eggs have been added, turn off burner. Add freshly ground pepper and check salt to taste. Then add toasted sesame oil and 1 tsp. of parsley, if using. Garnish with diagonally cut green onions, if desired.
