Chicken Egg Drop Soup image

This is a recipe that I had cut out of a magazine (I don't know which one). I finally got around to making it last week and it was delicious. It's a little fancier than what you get at the Chinese take-out place. Naturally, I made a few minor changes. Also, I used black pepper because that is all I had.

Categories     Chicken Soups

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 c low sodium chicken broth
1 1 inch piece of ginger, thinly sliced
4 scallions, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp mirin or dry sherry
1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
1 tsp sesame oil
3 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
kosher salt &white pepper
2 large eggs, well beaten
1 c baby spinach

Steps:

  • 1. Pour chicken broth into a large saucepan. Add ginger and scallions and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the broth into a large bowl and discard the scallions and ginger. Return the broth to the pot and stir in the wine.
  • 2. While the soup is simmering, cut the chicken into 1/4" cubes. Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper and sesame oil.
  • 3. In a small bowl, dissolve the remaining 3 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/4 cup water. While the broth is simmering, add the cornstarch mixture and cook about 4 minutes, stirring, until the soup is somewhat thickened. Add the chicken and simmer an additional 2-3 minutes. Drizzle the eggs into the simmering soup a little at a time, stirring as you pour. There should be thin sheets of cooked egg. Stir in baby spinach and serve.
