FAQs about Egg drop soup

Does egg drop soup have raw egg?

No, egg drop soup does not usually have raw egg. It typically consists of beaten eggs that are added to a hot broth and allowed to cook.


What does egg drop soup do for your body?

Egg drop soup can provide your body with the nutritional benefits of both eggs and broth. The eggs provide high-quality protein for muscle building, healthy fats for energy, and B vitamins for mental and physical energy, while the broth provides you with hydration, minerals, and collagen for strong skin and bones.


What's the difference between egg drop soup and egg flower soup?

Egg drop soup is a broth-based soup made with eggs that are slowly dropped from a spoon or ladle into boiling water or hot broth. It has very thin, strand-like egg pieces that are suspended in the broth. Egg flower soup is a clear broth-based soup, with green onions or other vegetables. The eggs are beaten together and then stirred or “flowered” into the soup to give it color, texture, and flavor.


Why is egg drop soup so slimy?

Egg drop soup is slimy because of the starch in the eggs. When you whip egg whites into the broth, it disperses the starches in the eggs and thickens the broth. This creates a slimy texture.
