WHAT IS EGG DROP SOUP?
Most of you have probably heard of Egg Drop Soup but if you haven’t had the pleasure of trying it, prepare to meet chicken noodle soup’s Chinese cousin.
Egg Drop Soup is a staple at Chinese restaurants in the United States. It’s made with warm, comforting chicken stock or broth often spiked with pepper and green onions, loaded with silky egg “noodles.”
The name “Egg Drop” literally describes how the soup is made – whisked eggs are dropped into hot broth which is being stirred continuously in one direction. The eggs enter the whirlpool raw and cook almost instantaneously as they swirl around.
While the American name describes Egg Drop Soups cooking method, the direct translation in Chinese describes its appearance. In Chinese, Egg Drop Soup (Danhuatang; traditional: ???; pinyin: dànhuatang), literally means Egg Flower Soup. This refers to the flower-like appearance the wispy eggs create.
But no matter what you call Egg Drop Soup, I think you’ll fall in love!
