I made this last night, thumbs up from everyone around the table. What can I say - Souper healthy, souper easy, souper delish, souper cheap. Also was perfect for my daughter who is fructose intolerant as you only use bruised onion and take it out leaving no onion flesh in the broth, I used my own homemade chicken broth. Thanks Marion, I love trying your recipes, I am learning so much from you and your mum. Please bring your sauces to Australia. 😋
After watching a few of Marion's videos, I've easily concluded that this is a quality channel. The camera work is on point, her methodology makes sense and it's easy to follow, her instructional dialogue is easy on the ears, and IMO the most important aspect of this cooking channel is that her recipes are so refined that it makes you WANT to try them. I wish I would have discovered her sooner.
How kind of you to take the time to write such a thoughtful comment 😀😀😀I love being able to share my videos and recipes and hearing comments like yours makes all the hard work worthwhile. Thank you!!!
She's good. I agree with you my friend. My first time ever visiting this channel but I will be back for sure. I'm always trying to find nice people on UA-cam who prepare great dishes. Well done! Looks delicious.
I was looking for a great egg drop soup recipe, and just finished watching at least 15 videos and was about to give up until I found yours! OMG thank you so much.
Made this and came out great, I edited to what I have and like, used leftover rotisserie from Costco, store bought broth, tablespoon of soy sauce ( broth was very low sodium and I doubled the recipe ) and added 1 diced carrot.
Well I discovered this wonderfull fantastic woman and chef last year... and let me say that I ve prepared some of her dishes for family and friends 's dinners! The combination of flavours is awesome! However here in the Caribbean is not so easy to find all those special stuff inmediately ...this delicios egg drop soup is another " must do",!!! Thanks Marion!
Marion, this soup looks so comforting. The dried shrimp is our secret ingredient too. A variation of egg drop soup would be to replace the eggs with pork belly and add in winter squash. Thank you.
Wow, Marion. Egg drop soup never looked so good. I always choose wonton or hot and sour before egg drop, but you made it look scrumptious!😋 It never looks like this in restaurants that I’ve seen. Thanks for another great video. I’m excited to try it at home.
This is my favorite childhood dish ever. And you're right to add the dried prawns or dried shrimps. This is really typical Asian ingredients using this because it enhances the dish become more delicious and give the "umaminess" in this dish. Very delish...........
Thank you Marion! THE Ultimate Egg Drop Soup! I love this recipe/soup! I like to add thai chili and corn! I love the technique with the 'smash' onion! Thankyou, you made my night!
So ready to try this for my mom and dad. They both love egg drop soup but they can never get it right. Hopefully, this will help me gain bragging rights in my house-hold lol.
I've made this two times now, delicious. First time I somehow screwed up and put in a tablespoon of white pepper. Whoops! Borderline inedible, but I struggled thru a big bowl anyhow because OTHER THAN THE ATOMIC HEAT it was delicious. I salvaged what was left by adding another three cups of chicken broth and two more eggs. Still atomic hot, but bearable. Made it again today the right way. I would warn people who are using store bought broth or broth substitutes to not add any salt to the recipe at least until you're getting ready to add the cornstarch. I used Better Than Bouillon - their chicken variety is surprisingly delicious and makes for a decent broth substitute, unlike their beef which is just, well, better than a cube. I salted my chicken before frying it and now I regret it - the Better Than Bouillon turned out to be more than salty enough (fortunately, I'm a saltaholic). If you're lucky enough to have homemade broth or a store bought broth you know isn't too salty though the recipe should work as is. I keep forgetting to buy the dried shrimp, but the Better Than Bouillon has pretty potent umami flavor by itself, so I'm not sure it's really needed with that in the mix. I put in slightly less sesame oil than called for because I find its aroma overpowers things a bit for my taste (or maybe I just need better sesame oil...). Anyhow, thanks for the recipe - it's a keeper! Egg drop soup was always a highlight when my parents would take me out for Chinese food as a kid. It's awesome being able to make it for myself as an adult, only better.
I dont make this with the chicken since I make this as a quick snack (or with the shrimp since we dont have it) , but I really appreciate the tips on making store-bought stock flavorful and on thickening the soup. Definitely made this lots of times ever since I watched this video ❤
Love this. Not feeling well today and just came back from a great asain restaurant with vegetable chicken soup. I added a lovely egg and let it gently simmer and it is perfectly poached. I can save a lot of money making my own and will be making yours this week.💙
Looking great! Just to throw it out there, People in Taiwan like to add some shredded sweet corn to give a little more crunch, sweetness and make the color even more vibrant , feel free to try it out.
I do like your version quite a bit, but I add rice noodle and fresh ground pepper to mine. Also Mushrooms and onions finely minced make a great addition to this soup :)
Looks delicious. I get my egg drop from restaurants. I’d love to make, but I’m the sole soup lover. My trick to taking up egg drop a notch is adding in about a half of one of those take out Asian mustard packets. Stir and you’ve add another level.
This is so delicious! I like chopping through the chicken bone so that the marrow releases into the stock (similar to drunken chicken and so many other Chinese recipes). You look great in those earrings!
Dear Marion, this recipe turned out very well! One thing I always notice, that after adding the egg (after thickening it quite well with cornstarch), the soup becomes thinner again. Do you know why, by any chance? Just curious. I did double the recipe, so I may not have thickened it adequately. Next time I might try adding more cornstarch.
I think the egg soaks up some of the cornstarch. There are also enzymes in eggs that might interact with the starches from the cornstarch and cut them up a bit.
Hello Marion I am very impressed with your cooking videos they are well put together and recorded I've tried several and they are all keepers I bought a Time Life Chinese cookbook in the early 1970s and that's where I learned to cook but your recipes are a lot more authentic and taste like the dishes served in Chicago's restaurants. Do you have a cookbook in print? If you do I would like to buy one On a side note I have noticed certain words you pronounce exactly as they are pronounced in the southeastern U.S. did you live or go to school there? Sounds like maybe Savannah. I hail from S.C. Keep up the good work Thank You James Burriss
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to write such lovely comments James. I'm super grateful! And unfortunately both my cookbooks are sold out :-( But I'd love to do a new one soon. Fingers crossed! And I'm half Australian and half Thai, which explains some of my pronunciations. How interesting that there's a similarity with a southeastern US accent. I've never been so Savannah so it didn't come from growing up there! LOL

Your voice and the way you speak is as soothing as the soup looks.
The bonniest lass ever. Such a comfort in these times!
I love the way she talks ! I can listen to her all day

I was looking for a great egg drop soup recipe, and just finished watching at least 15 videos and was about to give up until I found yours! OMG thank you so much.
I just got done making this soup and eating it, minus the shrimp. WOW! It is so delicious! Thank you for all you do!😊
Corn Starch...thank you!!! I could not figure out why I kept failing at this and it never occurred to me to thicken the broth.
I like this version. Clean and not complicated.
Made this and came out great, I edited to what I have and like, used leftover rotisserie from Costco, store bought broth, tablespoon of soy sauce ( broth was very low sodium and I doubled the recipe ) and added 1 diced carrot.

YUM!!! 😍😍 this is one of my FAVORITE things to eat, Especially when I'm sick, for whatever reason! Lol!! Keep up the FANTASTIC work, Marion!!! 💕💕
Omg just made this Tonite & it was FANTASTIC!😋
Wish I could post pics I made honey 🍋 sirracha wings😋😋
My husband loved it. "save that recipe!!"

"UMAMI" it stock on my mind on every episode I always heard it. Keep it up
Like always you never disappoint !!! The soup turned out amazing I just love how you show us you’re amazing recipes !
This is so appetizing mostly during winter & rainy days
Love this. Not feeling well today and just came back from a great asain restaurant with vegetable chicken soup. I added a lovely egg and let it gently simmer and it is perfectly poached. I can save a lot of money making my own and will be making yours this week.💙
YES, my FAVORITE YUMMY, #1 next to #2 Shrimp Egg Foo Young making this soon 😊. Thanks for sharing 🥳💕
Looking great!
Just to throw it out there,
People in Taiwan like to add some shredded sweet corn to give a little more crunch, sweetness and make the color even more vibrant , feel free to try it out.
I do like your version quite a bit, but I add rice noodle and fresh ground pepper to mine. Also Mushrooms and onions finely minced make a great addition to this soup :)
The team who does your filming is great. The sound and camera work is on point!
Thank you so much Bernelee! :-)
Just made this...it's so easy & deliciois
Looks delicious. I get my egg drop from restaurants. I’d love to make, but I’m the sole soup lover. My trick to taking up egg drop a notch is adding in about a half of one of those take out Asian mustard packets. Stir and you’ve add another level.
I love your recipies! You make me look soooo gooood!!
I always wondered how they made this soup, It’s always the best thing to start with at a Chinese restaurant! Your recipes always look so delicious😊💜
Thank you! And I hope you enjoy this one :-)
This is so delicious! I like chopping through the chicken bone so that the marrow releases into the stock (similar to drunken chicken and so many other Chinese recipes). You look great in those earrings!
This looks super delicious! what can I use as a substitute for the dried shrimp? Would fish sauce work?
Looking Forward to making this Luscious Version of this Soup!
I made this yesterday was yummy thanks a lot.
Love this recipe Marion ♥️
Absolutely delicious, thanks for the recipe Marion!
Thanks for all the tips! Always good food made by you. 👌
I used Fish Sauce instead of Shrimp do to allergies. I also added some Corn. Turned out fantastic.
Thank you
Yeah I have seafood allergies too and just left out the shrimp. Still yummy. :)
This is definitely the prettiest egg drop soup I've ever seen! 😁
I’m trying this for sure !!!
This one is much better than Chinese food (I am Chinese)🤩
your recipes get me so excited to get in the kitchen and make them!
Are you reading my mind? Lol
I literally had 1 package I was about to make and after seeing this I must try it. Looks delicious thank you.
🤣🤣🤣 I know everything 😱😆
Great recipe! I added some frozen corn and diced carrots and it was a great way to sneak veggies in. Perfect for breakfast/ lunch and dinner!
Nice! Tomorrow's lunch.
-NO CORN STARCH--THE BEST I MADE SOME FOR DINNER TONIGHT
Wow this one looks so gorgeously delicious
This was so easy to make and it is so better than anything I've had at restaurant. Making a bigger pot tonight.
Good to hear an aussie voice for a change while looking up recipes. The food in Florida is just not the same as back home.
I tried this the other day and it was a big hit in my family!! Thank you so much!
OMG, I could smell that! Mmmmmmmmm!
Just made this with your recipe Marion. It was good😋.
So awesome you enjoyed it!
Looks simple n amazing...do u think adding cubes of potatoes will be nice dear marion grasby?
Love egg drop soup
This recipe is amazing! I made this for my family and they love it! ☺️
I never had egg drop soup cause it never looked appealing. Your version is something I would try. It really looked yummy!
Khob khun ka Marion. I love your cooking video. I love Asian food.
Dear Marion, this recipe turned out very well! One thing I always notice, that after adding the egg (after thickening it quite well with cornstarch), the soup becomes thinner again.

This looks so good. Am going to try it.
This is one of my favourites. Thank you :)
Happy Easter Marion, thanks for all the great recipes. I also love your meal kits for a quick dinner when we’re busy.
Thank you!! And a happy Easter to you too! :-)
Looks fabulous. Have printed to cook later.
Wow that complete awesomeness!!
I love egg soup and this looks absolutely delish, going to try to make. Thanks for the recipe.
Maria De La Torre how did it go?
Haven't had a chance to make. But I will.
Well, that was easy! I don't know why I always thought this was so complicated!

Omg yes !
Good soup 👌

Umamiii
Good soup!❤
