I love takeout food just as much as the next girl. But, I don’t like the way it makes me feel, how much it costs, nor the fact that I have no idea what’s actually in it or who’s prepared it. That’s why I LOVE to make takeout fake outs. This Egg Drop Soup is literally better than what you can get as takeout from just about anywhere.

One of the best parts is that this soup, as delicious as it is, only takes about 10 minutes to make from start to finish. And you have complete control over what’s going into it and how it’s seasoned. Plus, it’s a perfect low carb Asian style soup to pair up for an easy weeknight meal.

I didn’t add a whole lot of veggies to this soup because I wanted it to be a pretty standard traditional Egg Drop Soup. But, you could definitely add mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, or any other vegetable that you enjoy.

While this soup is extremely easy to make, you do want to be sure to read the directions below and do NOT add the eggs into a still boiling pot of soup. That’s really the only thing to be mindful of when it comes to preparing this soup.

I served my Egg Drop Soup with a side of a cold soba noodle salad and called it done. It really was a delicious and guilt-free dinner that the whole family got to enjoy.
