This is one of the easiest soups to make and the ingredients are easy to find and pending your creativity, you can make it hearty and tasty for your kids. My dad used to make this all the time and I still love it!
There are as many versions of a Chinese-styled corn and egg drop soup as there are likely ABC soups! This is a staple in lots of Cantonese cuisines, with a thinner consistency over an American Chinese version (which uses corn starch as a thickener).
It is also known as the “egg flower soup”, which I love! Because the idea is that the egg drop flowers into the soup as you pour it in, giving it a beautiful non-uniform design inside the soup!

Check out this “souped” up version of a Chinese-styled (warming version) cream of corn and egg drop soup.
I went with a slightly warmer version, adding red goji berries and dried red dates, including garnishing with sesame oil. If you want this even warmer, add in sliced ginger and even one large dried tangerine peel (which you can fish out afterwards).

My mom use to use chicken broth instead of water, and it made it taste oh so good! It’s definitly a favorite soup!
I love adding grated ginger to this. It gives the soup a whole extra flavour!
Hi, does anyone know how to cook Hot and Sour soup (taste like Ting Dai Fung, one of the chinese restaturant)?
Here is one version: http://www.thechinesesouplady.com/hot-and-sour-soup/
However it is a bit different from the one from Ting Dai Fung – will source the recipe for you! But try this one first! Lisa
