Instructions

1. Heat the Broth

Pour chicken broth into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Reduce heat to low. Slowly pour beaten eggs into the broth in a thin stream. Stir gently with a fork or chopsticks to form ribbons.

6. Season the Soup

Add salt, white pepper and soy sauce. Stir carefully to mix flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

7. Add Sesame Oil

Drizzle sesame oil over the soup. Stir gently for a nutty aroma. This adds depth to the flavor.

FAQs about Joanna Gaines Egg Drop Soup

Can I use chicken broth from a cube or concentrate?
