How do you store egg drop soup?
While this soup will taste best the day it’s made, you can store it for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat it low and slow on the stove to avoid rubbery eggs. Because of the eggs, we don’t recommend freezing this soup.
How do you serve egg drop soup?
Try serving this egg drop soup recipe as an appetizer to a
beef and broccoli stir-fry, or have a warm bowl on a chilly night when you’re feeling a bit under the weather.
How should you drizzle the egg into the broth?
To avoid large, clumpy eggs, pour slowly while also swirling the broth with a whisk or fork. This will result in thin, beautiful egg ribbons. Some people also recommend pouring through the tines of a fork to break up any clumps, but whisking your eggs well beforehand should help prevent this too.
