was making a chinese dinner tonight and my 10 yo dd was starving, so I made a half recipe of this soup up really quick and gave it to her as an appetizer. I added a few chopped scallions for garnish. She loved the soup and went back for 2nds and 3rds! I love it too! It will be a great quick lunch from time to time. Thanks! Pam

We really liked this quick and easy soup. It had a very nice flavor. Pouring the egg yolks through the tines of the fork maked nice egg threads throught the soup. A nice tip to have. I liked it better than regular egg drop soup. Prepared recipe as written. Will make again. Thanks Debloves2cook. Bullwinkle.

I am a coastal California girl, relocated to Arizona a few years back now. I never thought I would like Arizona, we were giving this locale a two year trial period. Well I'm here to say I love it here!! The state, the weather, the community and all that goes with it. Our favorite time of day is the morning, sitting out on the back patio with our coffee, watching all the bird life; quails, thrashers, sparrows, woodpeckers, starlings, mockingbirds, wrens and the cottontail bunny rabbits and the occasional coyote passing through the yard. We have wonderful weather 10 months out of the year, great sunsets and great neighbors, who could ask for more! My folks came to visit us, fell in love with the community as well and in three days they bought a place too! My Mom calls me the president of the Chamber of Commerce, because I showed her the benefits and amenities of our community, so that she fell in love with it as well. So I took the next logical step and got my Real Estate license and became a Realtor. I am passionate about my new community, my new profession and all the regional southwest cooking possibilities!
