Here is a recipe for egg drop soup, in case anyone is interested! This was 96 calories per serving (1 cup). I am not big on onions, so I didn't add them, but feel free to garnish this with green onions or chives.

Egg Drop Soup
Makes 4 (1-cup) servings

4 cup chicken broth (I used 2 bouillon cubes with 4 cups of water)
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 egg, beaten
6 tbsp egg whites (or egg whites from 2 eggs)

In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce and sesame oil. Bring to a boil. Stir gently in one direction while you pour in the egg. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

    Dropping the egg into the soup is definitely an art I haven't mastered yet, so I just want to give you a heads up that the eggs might end up looking more "scrambled" than "dropped", but the soup is delicious and healthier than the restaurant version!

    Bump this recipe for later. Thank you.

    Also, you can try slowly pouring your eggs through a fork while making sure that the soup in the pot is spinning like a tornado. That's what I do.

    Sounds great!

    Should be around 280 for the entire recipe, though... Maybe you used extra large eggs or something. :P

    ETA: Should be less than 280 actually. I read that as 6 egg whites.

    I have never seen egg drop soup.
    What are you shooting for?

    I googled images of it and found some with noodles and some without.
    What I want to know is in the noodle less version --- how does the egg end up?

    Do you end with 1-2 TBS of cooked egg from the heat of the liquid with a trail of less and less cooked egg?

    Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely try that next time!

    Nope, I just used a regular large egg. I’m not sure about the calories. I used MFP’s recipe feature, and based the calories off of what it gave me. But, hey, it’s great if it has even fewer calories than I had originally thought!

    Egg drop soup can be a low-cal soup without the added calories from the noodles. If done correctly (which I still need to learn), the egg will look stringy and will have a slightly similar texture as scrambled eggs. I'm not sure how much egg you actually end up with. It's mainly a broth-based soup. I hope this helps!
