This vegan egg drop soup is filled with ribbons of a vegan egg substitute, and the broth is rich and savory. This tastes just like the takeout I used to love, minus the styrofoam container and plastic spoon!
This vegan egg drop soup takes me back! I used to order egg drop soup in those little styrofoam containers a looooooong time ago. The taste and texture was so good, and upwrapping and devouring an egg roll or two with it was heavenly. I had a random craving for it last week, so pulled out an egg replacer from my fridge to see if I could replicate it with plant-based ingredients.
What Is Egg Drop Soup?
Egg drop soup is typically made with a seasoned chicken broth. When the broth is hot, whisked eggs are slowly poured into it to create ribbons of eggs.
In this vegan version, I use No-Chicken stock and the VeganEgg to create the same result. Look at those ribbons of plant-based egg. It’s such a delicious soup and so easy to make.
How To Achieve This Result
To achieve these ribbons, you’ll need to make sure that your broth is very hot and your VeganEgg mixture is very cold. Bring your broth to a boil then a simmer, then slowly drizzle the plant-based egg mixture while stirring in one direction.
What Makes this Broth So Good
This is a super simple but flavorful broth with just a little bit of ginger and soy sauce and some scallions for color and contrast, Add in the eggs and you’ve got perfect comfort food to enjoy on your night in.
