Egg drop soup is a true comfort food for me. It’s so simple yet incredibly satisfying. The silky broth is calming and soothing, while the delicate ribbons of egg add a subtle richness. It comes together in just minutes, making it a perfect weeknight meal or a soothing pick-me-up when I’m feeling under the weather.
