Egg Drop Soup

PLEASE HELP!!!

My son will only eat the egg drop soup from the restaurant.. It's a long way to travel for soup.

I have tried making chicken soup and putting egg drops but he says it's not the same...any suggestions?

add some soy sauce to the chicken broth. Are you just adding egg to to a reg pot of chicken soup like you would make for shobbos or is it only broth? Cause I would stick just to the broth, add a bit of soy sauce, and the egg. Hope that helps.

You should also add some corn starch.

I made egg drop soup today, it came out really great.

I just used 4-6 cups chicken broth, a little bit of soy sauce, some ginger powder, about 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch dissolved in warm water, 2 eggs lightly beaten, and a half cup of thin egg noodles.

What does Worcestershire sauce do? Is it a thickener and a cream? Like corn starch plus coffee whitener? I�m curious to try it because many times I use both of those in a recipe (parve spinach) and I wonder if this makes the texture more consistent.

MitzvahMom, you can slice scallions into thin rings and toss it in to the boiling pot the last minute. It gives a heavenly taste.

Guys, what do you do with the eggs? Stir it and drop it in to the soup then swirl? Do you add spices to the egg before?

Thanks! <drooling>

I love Worcestershire sauce, I put it into my pumpkin soup all the time, it gives it a nice zing.
