Good, not great. The broth was a little lacking in flavor. Perhaps my Chinese restaurant makes phenomenal egg drop soup.

As written I was not thrilled. Once I read some of the reviews and added in a few things (sesame oil, garlic, raw ginger, pepper) this soup did, then, taste a great deal like a restaurant style one. I think maybe the chicken stock used by restaurants has had onions cooked into it as I didn't have quite as much onion flavor here as I was hoping for, but that's something I can modify for next time. A couple tips: DO add eggs in last, so you don't have to stir them to jibbles. Also, I saw no good reason for separating the eggs and using just the yolk on one...so I just used whole eggs. It worked beautifully--mine looks perfectly authentic. For people who have puffy eggs...make sure you're putting the eggs in BOILING water. So we enjoyed this soup but as written, I can't give it the 5th star. But it's easily adjusted for taste, and is well worth 4 stars.

This was great! We loved it and it didn't last long at all! The flavor is rich yet subtle and very savory. Be sure to use a good quality chicken stock and eggs since the soup will only be as good as your stock and eggs. If the flavor is too rich for you substitute some of the stock for water. I used soy sauce instead of salt in this recipe since it gives it a more "authentic" flavor. Be sure the drizzle the eggs in by the fork as the recipe directs since that is what will give you the perfect size egg drops. If the top becomes filled with the egg before you're done just push it to the side and continue dropping. I don't think it's necessary to use only an egg yolk, you can use another whole egg instead.

I did thicken this first before adding the eggs and still got puffy eggs but I'm sure it was my technique. For such a simple soup it had great flavor but did think it could be improved upon. Will make again but try adding some additional flavors. Thanks for the recipe!

After reading many of the reviews I thickened the broth first and then streamed in the egg mixture. Excellent flavor. I didn't add any salt to the soup as I like a bit of soy sauce in mine at the table. Next time I think I'll put the egg mixture in a small baggie and cut a very tiny tip off the bottom to make it easier to drizzle the egg into the swirling broth.

This was good but I still felt like it needed a little something. Adding more salt helped. Per other reviews and added the eggs last. The soup was a nice consistency.

1. I had to tweek this A lot. I am giving it 4 stars only because i did use veggie broth instead of chicken broth... 2. I ended up adding 2 chicken bullion cubes to it and about 1 T soy sauce. i also added a little chicken to it and let it boil i prefer it that way... will keep looking for the perfect one.

Yummy, I added gravy thickiner before the eggs as many sugggested, and I would just stick to using 2 eggs would have been plenty. Overall very yummy and very easy. Will be making many more times.

omg!!! so good!! and so easy! i needed to go to the grocery store, but just didn't really want to and my 4 year old wanted soup, so i looked on AR and this is what i came up with that i knew she would love (she is part Vietnamese and eats like them, so soup is a favorite). the whole pot was gone with just my 2 kids and myself. the only thing i did different was i didn't have enough chicken broth. so i added 2 cans of chicken broth and one slightly bigger can of vegetable broth, added green onions instead and used 3 eggs with one egg yolk. VERY VERY GOOD!! for sure i will make this often!! thank you so much W.J. Cory!!

This was really great! It was a lot easier than I imagined it to be! The only change I will make in the future is to add some sliced or shredded carrots. Then this will be just as great as my local chinese resturants!

I make this often, and it doesn't take long. I use 4 chicken bullion cubes instead of the chicken broth, and I've not tried cornstarch, only flour. The flavor is good, and it's very filling. Thanks!

Tastes fantastic. I tend to leave out the salt, and substitute green onions for the chives. It refrigerates nicely too.
