Egg drop soup


Egg drop soup

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_drop_soup

Poster’s comment:  About any kind of beaten egg will do. And there are a lot of birds around the Hemlocks, too.

Today, Sunday, I will just boil some chicken broth and pour two beaten chicken eggs into the broth, albeit very slowly while I stir the mix. You can modify this about any way you choose, by the way. Now if I have done it too early (poured the beaten egg stuff into the broth too early or too quickly), and it makes a soupy looking color in the broth, it is still very safe to eat. Now if I can make myself wait a little longer or pour a little slower, then I can get more stringy looking egg product which is the idea of this soup. Then I add the rest of whatever I choose to cook with, like Indonesian ramen noodles and spices,  and light and chopped SPAM and chopped scallions, and some cilantro (also called coriander), and go from there.

As to serving the mix, I think of the “cup of soup” idea, and go from there.  Think of self-serve and over a long time for the eaters to finish it.
