One evening, feeling under the weather, I craved soup but found chicken broth alone uninspiring. Remembering egg drop soup, I searched for recipes, and combining elements from several, I created this easy and soothing version. It's gentle on the stomach and incredibly quick to prepare. Consider garnishing with crushed peanuts, chives, chili sauce, red pepper flakes, or lime wedges for added flavor!

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
0.5 teaspoon soy sauce
0.5 teaspoon sesame oil, or to taste
0.25 cup finely broken udon noodles
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil; bring to a boil. Add udon noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm, approximately 10-12 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the broth until slightly thickened. Slowly pour in the eggs, stirring gently but constantly, until they form wispy strands and are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
