This simple and easy to make egg drop soup is ready in just a few minutes!
Egg drop soup is the recipe I whip out when I’m in a pinch. Its super easy and is ready in just a few minutes start to finish! I regularly make this soup on a busy weeknight or after church on Sunday—you know when you’re too hungry to wait for anything to actually cook?
Try out this egg drop soup! The one thing I do recommend for this recipe is high quality chicken broth. The higher the quality the chicken broth the richer the flavor of this soup!
Enjoy!
