When our family goes over to my grandmotherโ€™s house for dinner, thereโ€™s always a pot of soup ready on the stove. Likewise, I usually have a soup dish whenever I make a Chinese family-style dinner. Iโ€™m not sure if this version of egg drop soup can be counted as authentic Chinese. Maybe itโ€™s more of a Chinese-American hybrid. Either way, itโ€™s super easy to make. Only four ingredients needed and can be ready in five minutes!

Of course, you can use homemade chicken broth. I usually do. Just use equal volumes of chicken broth to creamed corn. This recipe can easily be doubled as well.
