'''Egg Drop Soup''' is a traditional [[Chinese cuisine|Chinese]] dish, commonly served as a starter in both Chinese and Western-style Chinese restaurants. The soup is named for its preparation method, which involves dropping beaten [[egg]]s into hot [[chicken broth]] or [[vegetable broth]], creating silky ribbons of cooked egg throughout the soup.

== History ==
The origins of Egg Drop Soup are traced back to ancient [[China]], where it was developed as a simple and economical dish. The soup's simplicity allowed it to be easily adapted and modified, leading to a variety of regional variations across China and eventually spreading to other parts of the world through Chinese diaspora.

== Preparation ==
The basic preparation of Egg Drop Soup involves heating a broth, typically chicken or vegetable, and then slowly pouring in a mixture of beaten eggs and [[cornstarch]]. The cornstarch acts as a thickening agent, giving the soup its characteristic texture. The eggs are added slowly and cooked until they form thin, silken strands. Additional ingredients such as [[tofu]], [[green onion]], and [[mushrooms]] may also be added for flavor and texture.

== Variations ==
There are numerous regional variations of Egg Drop Soup. In the [[United States]], the soup is often thickened with tomatoes and may include ingredients such as peas, corn, and chicken. In [[United Kingdom|British]] Chinese restaurants, the soup is typically served with fried noodles. In [[Hong Kong]], a version known as "West Lake Egg Drop Soup" includes minced beef and coriander.

== Nutritional Value ==
Egg Drop Soup is generally low in calories and provides a good source of protein from the eggs. However, the nutritional value can vary greatly depending on the specific recipe and ingredients used.

== Cultural Significance ==
Egg Drop Soup holds a significant place in Chinese cuisine and culture. It is often served during [[Chinese New Year]] and other celebrations as a symbol of prosperity and wealth.
