Aw, thanks, Skyelaw. I love, love, love to cook!
There is something about feeding a man that I just love. I love feeding children and animals, too. I keep a small bag of bird seed in my purse to feed birds.
I will happily spend the entire day cooking my husband's favorite foods. But I can whip up a quick meal to serve guests in under 20 minutes! Take that, Rachel Ray! LOL.
Oh, that egg drop soup is the easiest:
chicken broth
eggs
Those are the basic ingredients!
Heat the chicken broth until it's simmering or lightly boiling. Scramble the egg(s) and slowly drizzle it into the hot broth, stirring the entire time. The egg thickens the broth.
Here are the optional ingredients to add:
soy sauce
toasted sesame seed oil
snow peas or peas
carrots, thinly sliced
bamboo shoots, thinly sliced
water chestnuts, thinly sliced
ground pork or shrimp
green onions, chopped
You can add whatever you like. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to taste.
But egg drop soup can be as simple as only egg and chicken broth.
