Food and Drink Egg Drop Soup - Page 2

**Canofbier** · 06:57 PM

Late last Thursday, I drunkenly ordered 24 cups of chicken broth off of Amazon with the intention of making egg drop soup.

It arrived this afternoon and I threw together a simple but pretty decent soup:

Quote:

4 cups chicken broth
1/3 tsp powdered garlic
1/3 tsp powdered ginger
1/4 tsp black pepper
1-1/2 tbsp corn starch
2 stalks of green onion
2 large eggs

Now, I enjoyed my soup, but I still have 20 more cups of this broth. Does anybody have some suggestions for ways to jazz this shit up?

I could also use some tips on how to get longer egg strings in the soup. I poured the beaten eggs into the boiling soup while actively stirring, and I wonder if the fork broke up the strings before they had a chance to cook.

I have tried to do the same things by swallowing eggs and pressing my penis over boiling water in a circular motion

I'm a cooking snob, so I use homemade broth. But the Greek version of this is to mix the egg with a lemon and drop in with a grain (like orzo). Or just use broth to cook a grain like couscous or an easy rice pilaf until it fluffens.

Fluffens?

Good idea! I'd get a more consistent pour this way for sure.

I don't own one of these already, but my enema ought to do the trick.

Turn it into hot and sour soup.

24c of broth isn't that much. I typically use 8-10c of broth or stock when I make a soup.

You can make all types of different soups with chicken broth or there are several alternative uses (rice, quinoa, piccata, braised chicken, sauces, etc.).

What's a quinoa
