Good, but I will make sure to use low sodium broth next time, as this was a little salty for my taste.

It was a hit with my family. My husband ad-libbed the original recipe way too much with an abundance of soy sauce and ginger. So, he made another batch for me following the original recipe. I took a full cup of the original and 1/4 cup of his and mixed them together, which made it very flavorful. Therefore, I suggest adding 1/2 tsp of ground ginger and 1-1/2 tsp of soy sauce.

My husband thought I bought this at a restaurant! My daughter, who loves Chinese food, liked this also. This was so easy and simple- thanks for sending.

Okay, I seem to always mess up egg drop soup... it always tastes good, but never looks like the stuff from the resturant... THIS recipe was perfect!! I was pretty impressed with myself!! This one is a keeper!

I've tried a few recipes and this one tasted just like the restaurant. My husband loved it. I put in corn instead of green onions.

Really good soup. My 12-year old daughter made this soup as an extra credit project for her 6th grade country report- we had two huge crockpots worth- the kids devoured it, not a drop came home.

This is really good soup! I like my soup a lttle thick, so I added just about a 1/4 teaspoon more corn starch and it was perfect. We will never have another stir-fry night without this soup!!!

This was very good and could even be improved by adding a little soy and chicken. I will do this next time.

This was so easy and good, just like we get at our favorite Chinese restaurant. The only thing I did was add a little soy sauce for extra flavor.

This was easy and very comparable to a spice packet that I picked up some time ago. I was hoping for just a little more flavor, but was still very good. Thanks for the post.

Great recipe, but a little watery. Added 5 vigorous shakes of table salt and 2 shakes of Jane's Crazy Mixed-up Salt! So good! SO good! SO GOOD! Will definatly try again, but I'll add another egg! Yum!

I've only had egg drop soup one time, from a local take out and it honestly wasn't my favorite. This recipe rocked over that one! I had a half bowl, and my husband ate the rest....he loved it! I too cooked the green onions in the broth and also added a sprinkle of chicken bouillon and an extra egg. Tasty! Thanks Patsy.
