Easy Egg Drop Soup

*Bellinda*'s Note:

This is one of the simplest soups there is. But it is so comforting. I like that this one doesn't taste as thick and slimey. Why order from a Chinese Restaurant when you can do it quicker and better at home?

This is sooo easy and satisfying! I made as directed, making one serving out of a third of the recipe. Instead of canned chicken noodle soup, I'm thinking this will be my under-the-weather-pick-me-up soup; I'll just add some Ramen noodles at the beginning. Thanks, *Bellinda*!

I am needing to find allergy free recipes (not dairy, wheat, lots more) for my 15 yo. This was perfect, except I only put onions on mine, as kids wouldn't like it and she's allergic to onions. Very easy to make and I added some browned cubes of chicken that I added a little curry powder to. Served with your Tropical Rice and it was a meal everyone loved (hard to come by lately).

Mmmmm, delicious! I made this soup with a chicken stir fry, and fried rice. The perfect compliment to the meal. My husband said it was better than any Egg Drop Soup he's had in a restaurant! I added celery and a little salt and pepper, too. Enjoy!
