Vegetarian Egg Drop Soup

Materials

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 tbsp no chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 tbsp mushroom seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • salt to taste
  • 1/8 tsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp tumeric or a few drops of yellow food coloring (this is optional for color)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch + 1/3 cup water
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 scallion chopped

Instructions

  • Bring water to a simmer and then add the bouillon, mushroom seasoning, oil, and a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Add the sugar, white pepper, and turmeric (or food coloring).
  • In a bowl, mix your cornstarch and cold water together to make a cornstarch slurry. This will thicken your soup. Once it reaches a boil, pour the cornstarch slurry in. It should thicken almost immediately.
  • In a separate bowl, lightly beat your three eggs together with a fork.
  • Lower the heat of the soup until it is barely a simmer. Then using a ladle or wooden spoon, mix the soup to create a swirl. Pour the eggs in slowly while swirling the soup.
  • How fast you swirl it will determine how big or small your egg "flowers" turn out. Do it to your preference.
  • Sure hot with fresh scallions on top. Enjoy!
