Love & Best Dishes: Brooke’s Easy Egg-Drop Soup Recipe

[@vickiepatterson1748]

Thanks Jamie. Good to see you again. I come here every day to see this family give up free time to bring us some of their recipes. And the fact that they started this during the quarantine and have continued all these months later is amazing and very generous. Today I watched Jamie's video then began to read the comments. I have never been so disappointed in my life. There is nothing wrong with having a different opinion but you don't have to be rude and/or hateful about it. I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped making these videos after today's ugliness. But that's the thing, this family is a lot more gracious than that. You could learn a thing or two from them. I like reading the comments to see what other people think about the recipe or if they have any questions or suggestions. But I never expected to see what I found today. Do you even look at the criteria for posting comments? Respectful is number one. If you don't come here to see the family and recipes, then why bother? Being a bully doesn't make you a big person, quite the opposite. This family, including Theresa and Eddie, has sacrificed a lot to bring these videos to us. Attacking everything and everyone is no way to repay them. Thank you Deen family, for all you do for us and bless you for being so kind.

[@mamaksstorytime]

I agree @Vickie Patterson . Luckily, the majority of the comments here are positive - just as Paula is!

[@vickiepatterson1748]

@@mamaksstorytime Yes that's true, most of the time everyone is a lot more cordial. Maybe some just woke up in a fowl mood... It happens. I will continue to come here with a positive attitude and enjoy what this family shares with us. Love and best wishes for these dishes! 💕

Folks, somehow I think it is a sign of the times an condition our Country is in! 😢. We should Report these Trolls! I so appreciate these videos… miss her shows soooo much. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 to Paula an Family!

[@vickiepatterson1748]

@@Swim136 Unfortunately these trolls show up everywhere. There's another channel I visit who is being attacked for the second time. These childish people have nothing productive to do so they go online and harass people who are providing a service for the rest of us. But this whole conversation started months ago when people were still stuck at home. It doesn't matter who you watch, if you can't say something nice then don't say anything. Most people who come here are just happy to see Paula and crew and family and they are respectful. But that's the biggest problem, no respect. Not for anyone or anything. And that's not just here, it's all over. Sad but true. I appreciate the support you've given me and this channel. Hopefully it will return to a safe and congenial place to visit. 💗

[@ritabrunetti381]

Most Egg Drop Soup that I've had here in Rhode Island, has been "stringy". I like that your recipe makes a creamy soup. I also like Egg Drop Soup so... I'll be making it soon. Thanks for your recipe!

[@Bassingal]

These Deen family cooking videos are my favorite part of my day! Thank you for giving us a place to relax with you and get inspired to make old favorites and new stuff too. I like to make my egg drop soup with ribbons of egg, pouring the egg over a fork and then just letting it sit and cook. This version looks creamy and delicious- I'll give it a try. Thank you Jamie, for the inspiration!!!

[@kittencreates2785]

I love egg drop soup. When I make it I also add a bit of turmeric to give it that yellow color & for the health benefits. I'll have to make this after I make chicken stock this week. Thanks!

Dear Friends of God...................... Please research God's Time/Calendar in Genesis 1:14 before a False Sabbath law is enforced!

[@sherrylynne8836]

When my kids were little, to make a quick and easy dinner I'd use a box of Mrs. Grass chicken noodle soup (the one with the tiny noodles) - and then I'd add a couple of beaten eggs to it to thicken it up and add some more protein. It's a quick family dinner and goes great with a grilled cheese sandwich. Yum!

[@susanhauck7423]

love this recipe! if you use equal parts of liquid to corn starch it creates a perfect slurry. 😉

[@nancyevans822]

I make it, but add a little lemon juice at the end. Also, children like it with a few fideo short vermicelli noodles thrown in. Guess that makes it noodle soup. Yum! 😉😃

[@genaustinsmiller9427]

I will love to test yours I believe it will be yummy 😋😋

[@romainejayne1811]

Your not suppose to stir the soup after you pour the egg in the swirl...otherwise the entire egg mixes and disappears in the soup. Just leave it alone for one minute and let the egg set up inside the soup. The soup is suppose to be clear with the eggs looking separate in the soup not all combined and mixed up! But, I'm sure it still tasted yummy!

[@stacey5925]

Exactly. Paula just had to come in and whisk!

[@ckrtom2]

Jamie, you do an awesome show! Just sayin’... 👏👏👏👏

[@genaustinsmiller9427]

[@listenquitely2888]

If you use a fork and slide it back and forth while poring the egg in there, it will create those beautiful egg stripes.

[@valentinaminauro352]

Yes that's what I was looking for thanks for the tip

[@ampa4989]

Hmmm. My mother, who's a great cook, always makes her slurry with cold water. No clumping! And I'd leave the ginger in. So good.

[@ckrtom2]

Read my comment above. Add cornstarch to liquid (not vice versa) and shake it in a jar. Turns out perfect. :)

[@ampa4989]

@@ckrtom2 That's one more dish to wash (lid). Works great just mixed in a bowl, too.

[@whittkatt]

Nice base recipe. It might have needed to be just a very tiny bit thicker. If you added just a tad more cornstarch slurry (usually mixed with cold liquid) and pour the eggs into the hot soup after it has thickened, and then just drag a fork slowly back and forth through the pot, you will get the egg “flowers” where it is more flowy and silken. Using the whisk makes it cloudy and a bit more emulsified that traditional egg drop soup.

[@darvisayers3140]

Thought you put cornstarch in cold liquid ? First time I've ever seen it go into hot liquid

[@DizzLexic]

You are supposed to stir it much slower and have it on a rolling boil as you slowly add the eggs so that they immediately cook in fine strips as they enter the pot. What you just made there was a chicken broth thickened with eggs. I am sure it was still tasty anyway.

[@lynnefleming8614]

I made tomato egg drop soup the other day for the first time, and I used bouillon because I didn't have a chicken or the broth. It turned out great. I had never made any kind of egg drop soup before that.

[@ckrtom2]

Jamie's slurry ("hard to explain") "explanation" was pretty lame. I've found that a 1:1 ratio (liquid to cornstarch) works well. Also start with the liquid (water or broth) first, then sprinkle in the cornstarch--not add the liquid to the measured cornstarch--to avoid that solid chalky blob. Also skip the whisk when making the slurry. Just put in a jar and shake well! Comes out perfectly combined with no lumps. You can always whisk once adding the slurry to whatever you're cooking if necessary. I find it hard to believe Theresa doesn't know what a slurry is lol (4:08). Even us novice cooks watch cooking shows and slurry is nothing new. I know everyone praises Theresa for her background work, but I'm sure Paula's hired help is well compensated lol...(I hope so.)
