Egg Drop Soup

My girls love eating egg drop soup.  Its healthy, easy, and inexpensive using these ingredients from Costco:


Egg Drop Soup
one carton chicken stock
3 cups water
3 tsp Better Than Bouillon chicken
1 garlic clove, minced
Bring to a boil in a large pot.

2 handfuls of noodles
Add and boil 12 minutes as directed on package.


2 eggs, beaten
While soup is still boiling, pour eggs slowly into the pan.  As you pour, use a fork to vigorously stir the egg in the pan, to avoid any large clumps.  Continue boiling for a minute or two and then serve.

Enjoy!  (And check out my Tips for Feeding Soup to Kids post for help making it less messy!)

  1. What kind of noodles are those? Where did you get them?

  2. This sounds yummy and looks easy which is an added bonus. Thanks for sharing I was looking for something new to try and I think I can find all the ingredients over here:) Have you ever tried Japanese rice balls? I just had one - yummy and seem relatively simple to make. I don't know how far in advance you can make them and if they'd freeze, but might be a good thing to have on hand for a quick snack/meal when baby comes. The one I tried had tuna inside but I think you could put anything inside the rice.

  5. I just wanted to say thanks on the tip from the soup post about putting a washcloth under the kid's bowl! We live in Laos, so and it's hot, hot, hot here, so we haven't been eating much soup, but my almost 2 year old has just started eating cereal. I put a washcloth under her bowl and it so cuts down on the mess! Thanks! Such a simple thought and makes such a big difference!
