Ohhhhh how I love egg drop soup. I can eat it as my entire meal! Not only is this recipe super-easy and flavorful, it’s extremely budget-friendly.
I’ve been feeling just a little under the weather, and soup always comforts me when I’m not at 100%. This soup uses everyday ingredients that you just might already have in your fridge and pantry…. so there’s no reason not to make it if you’re a lover of egg drop soup!
I also made a few fried wonton strips to throw on top because I like the crunchiness of them in my soup, but they’re by no means necessary.
So when you’re craving egg drop soup, skip the takeout and make this instead… you won’t be disappointed! 🙂
