Quick Egg Drop Soup: Because it’s easier than putting on a bra to get takeout
https://youtu.be/gohyVpuzItA
This egg drop soup is the quickest warm meal ever – annnnd one of y’all’s faves whenever I make it on Instagram, as well as one of your most requested tutorials. So here, I give you the ultimate tutorial (albeit with the most unflattering YouTube freeze-frame cover ever known to mankind – I swear they’re screwing with me at this point).Anytime I’m in the mood for Chinese food, but not in the mood to go pick it up, this is my go-to. Works out much better anyway because my version doesn’t make me bloat up like a mother******.
I did the simplest version in the video, but you can customize this however you like – switch up the herbs, add in different seasonings or sauces, squirt in a squeeze of lemon or lime, add chicken or shrimp. You do you, girl (or boy – I’m sure boys like Chinese food too).
Anytime I need a quick, comforting warm meal, I whip this up. It takes 10 minutes tops and tastes better than any restaurant version.

1 tbspscallionminced
Instructions
In a small saucepan over high heat, bring broth up to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low to keep it there. Season to taste with sea salt.
While gently whisking the broth in a circular motion, slowwwwwly drizzle in the beaten egg, stirring in that circular motion the entire time.
Add spinach + avocado to a bowl, then pour broth over the top to wilt the spinach. Top with cilantro + scallion.
Notes
This is the recipe I use when I want to keep it super simple, but I love to play around with it too. Using this recipe as the base, experiment with different additions. If you're craving Asian-inspired flavors, add: a tbsp tamari, a little splash of mirin, a tbsp miso paste + 2 tsp toasted sesame oil to the broth.If you're craving a more Mediterranean vibe, omit the avocado, cilantro + scallion, then add: 1 tbsp freshly grated parmesan + a splash of fresh lemon juice to the broth, then top with minced Italian flat leaf parsley.
