A Simple Soup For My Meal, Egg Drop Soup

I talk about it in my last articles. It's already the rainy season in Indonesia. It keeps raining from afternoon until night.

Since the temperature is a bit chilly due to the rain. I often have warm soup as my meal.

Egg drop soup. To be honest, I just found this recipe a few months ago. I haven't tried to buy it in a local Chinese restaurant. So I don't know how it originally tastes.

I find egg drop soup is a simple dish to enjoy. The ingredients are easy to buy, we can cook this meal quickly, and most importantly it tastes good. I think that I just need around 10 to 15 minutes to cook it.

After watching the recipe a lot on YouTube and following the original recipes. I start to make it based on my preference.

Usually, I put green onion and tomato. When I want to get some meaty taste I add a sliced chicken, sausage, or meatball. Salt, white pepper, a pinch of sugar, and chicken powder is my seasoning.

Not forget to add garlic and ginger to the soup too. I also add a bit of corn starch to it. So the soup is a bit thicker.

A simple egg drop soup. It's light and tasty. I love it when I add the tomato. It gives more umami flavor. Silky and eggy from the egg meanwhile the broth is warm with a slight taste of garlic, ginger, and the seasonings.

Not gonna lie, a bowl of egg drop soup is often my meal on a rainy day. It's warm as if hugging me.
