Egg Drop Soup with Sugar Snap Peas and Greens

Do you love soup? Do you love chinese restaurants? Do you love chinese restaurants soup? Ok, then this is for you!  What is your favorite soup from chinese restaurants?  There’s wonton, which I love.  Then there’s shrimp noodle which is great.  Then there’s this….

This is egg drop soup and it’s so good.

Can you believe it takes 10 minutes to make? I’m not kidding. And you can customize it if you’d like.  Maybe you’d like to add some onions or carrots, that would be good too! For this recipe I wanted to use some fresh garden harvest so I threw in some sugar snap peas and salad greens – *pats self on back * – good choice.  The salad greens wilt because of the hot broth making them perfect for this soup.  The sugar snap peas still keep their snap and crunch so it’s a nice bite to the soup.

I hope you try this soup. I really really do!

Did you make this?I love seeing what you’ve made! Tag me on Instagram at @BrooklynFarmGirl and don’t forget to leave a comment & rating below.

Step by Step:

Egg Drop SoupIMG_3130
You need 4 and 3/4 cups of chicken broth for this.  I usually always use bouillon cubes for my broth but you can use the packaged stuff too.  Whatever you do though, use low sodium broth.  When I first made this without low sodium broth I found it way too salty.  If you absolutely have to use regular broth, I would omit the additional salt the recipe calls for.   When your chicken broth is boiling, remove 3/4 cup of it and set aside, we’ll use this later.

My beloved sugar snap peas picked from the garden.

Then you de-string them.  Is that a word de-string? I don’t know but that’s all I could come up with.

Then chop them up into bite size pieces. I usually cut each pea up into 2 or 3 pieces.

Then grab your salad greens, I just picked these from the garden so I threw them in a bag to keep chilled.

Rip them up, no certain way, just rip them up.

Great! Now your vegetables are set.

Remember that chicken broth you set aside? Now we’re going to use it to thicken the soup.

Add your cornstarch and stir, stir, stir until it’s smooth.

Now we want to get the eggs ready for this soup.

Take 3 our and whisk with your fork.

I couldn’t take any pictures of the process of dropping in vegetables, eggs as I don’t have a 3rd arm (one day?) but after you put everything in and add your cornstarch broth to thicken…

Then your delicious egg drop soup will be ready!

It’s a  messy looking soup, but it’s also a pretty looking soup.   I love the greens in it.

Sit down and enjoy, I hope you like it!

    Egg drop soup is the only soup I ever get at Chinese restaurants. I always get it at the food court at airports, so it reminds me of traveling; always a good thing. I haven’t ever made it either, which is just shameful, since it looks so easy.

    Why, yes, I do love Chinese restaurant soup, how did you know!? Although now I think I might like homemade Chinese restaurant soup best. This looks delicious!

    I love eggdrop soup but never get to eat it because of the chicken broth — I’m so excited to make this at home with my “no chicken” broth 🙂 Thanks for the recipe, girl!
