“We start many stir-fry meals with this easy Egg Drop Soup, which cooks in just minutes flat," writes Amy Corlew-Sherlock from Lapeer, Michigan. "There are many recipe variations, but we like the addition of cornstarch to thicken the soup and give it a rich, golden color. “I got the recipe from Grandma’s old cookbook,” Amy recalls. “And when my kids were slow to enjoy eating meat, this ‘souper’-quick dish provided them with easy-to-digest egg protein.”

Tastes good, but I would like it to look a little more yellow.

Not only would I make it again but my husband has requested it 5 times in the last few days. He claims it's his new favorite and he doesn't have to eat out at an oriental restaurant anymore!

great and easy! Using the other comments I increased the chicken stock to 4 cups, used 2 Tablespoons of corn starch , 2 eggs and some frozen corn to make a slightly larger batch.

This was great!!! My daughter loves egg drop soup and she thought this one was right up there with the Chinese places we order from. We were fine with the consistency of the soup, but if you like it a little thicker, you'll probably need a little more cornstarch. Definitely double the recipe if you have a family of 4 or more... One recipe would not have been near enough for my family of 5. I doubled it, and we polished off the whole pot!!!!

This was just okay. It tasted pretty boring, compared with any of the various egg drop soups we have had at restaurants. It did reheat well, though.

This was quick, easy and tasty! We thought it needed to be thicker so next time I think I'll double the cornstarch. I also threw in about 1/2 c. frozen corn (like our favorite Chinese restaurant's).
