EGG DROP SOUP
We start many stir-fry meals with this easy egg drop soup, which cooks in just a few minutes. There are many recipe variations, but we like the addition of cornstarch to thicken the soup and give it a rich, golden color. I got the recipe from Grandma's old cookbook. -Amy Beth Corlew-Sherlock, Lapeer, Michigan
