LOW CARB EGG DROP SOUP MAGIC DISCOVERY
This recipe has made it on our , and was first discovered by my daughter, who went to a friend for a play date.
Came home and all she could talk about was the best soup she ever had.Mentioned a few times that the soup is so delicious, she will eat it every day.
After a few phone calls with my friend, who told me it was a simple broth, which my daughter does not like in our house, my friends mentioned adding an egg into it.
An egg? In the broth?
GLUTEN FREE EGG RIBBONS
That is how our own vegetarian egg “ribbons” recipe at home was discovered. And you can make this recipe as well even if you are not on a keto diet.
Our egg drop soup is so easy, even a kid can make it.
BONE BROTH HOMEMADE EGG DROP SOUP
And that’s where the magic happened. This simple egg inside a bone broth made it unforgettable and LOVED forever.
This really is a few seconds Keto Egg Drop Soup.
And all that was just 1 additional egg. Just one simple egg, and she loves my broth again.
BENEFITS OF EGG DROP SOUP
Great health benefits arise from this low carb version of egg drop soup, as the base is a nutritious homemade broth, filled with Collagen, Minerals, Vitamins and Fatty Acids.
Broth or bouillon as a base of this recipe, has got so many health benefits one would be surprised.
From my childhood till now, anytime one is sick, boiling a cup of homemade broth helps greatly every single time.
I love it, my husband loves it, but my daughter …. Not so much.
But this recipe has changed it all.
IS EGG DROP SOUP KETO FRIENDLY?
This one is. The problem with many of the egg drop soups is that they are always filled with starch to make them a bit creamier. But if you just use an egg and mix it well, you do not need any thickener at all to enjoy it fully.
Our egg drop soup is the perfect solution instead of the traditional Chinese soup recipe. Super low in carbs.
WHAT IS THE NUTRITION OF LOW CARB SOUP?
The nutrition values are exceptional as well. With low sodium a bowl of this soup will get you only 1 gram of carbohydrates and 88 calories, but supply you with 8 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat.
Really super low carb egg drop soup recipe.
HOW TO THICKEN KETO SOUP?
If you really insist and you are not satisfied with only eggs, you can always add a pinch of Xanthan Gum into a hot broth to thicken it. For the magic to happen, with Xanthan Gum, pinch means really just a pinch. Like ¼ of a teaspoon or even less of it.
Be really careful as a little goes a long way. If you add too much Xanthan gum to thicken, you might end up with a gooey thick non-edible sauce.
IS CHINESE EGG DROP SOUP KETO FRIENDLY?
Chinese soup in the restaurant would less likely fall into a keto, especially with net carbs count.
Unless you make it yourself at home and you do know what you have put inside, it will not be.
Our recipe is an egg drop soup recipe without cornstarch.
Most of the Chinese restaurants are adding not only Glutamine but other starches to make it really tasty. I would not trust that.
One of the first visits to Chinese restaurants, when my daughter was first diagnosed, is a great example.
At that time she was newly diagnosed, so we really had no idea how everything works. Ordered a plain soup to be on a safe side. Plain I mean, really plain. They did not even had to add the chicken or veggies. It was just a clear flavourful water if I can call that so. Simply water.
And O my. Her blood sugar went so high from it, we could not believe it. One learns the lesson and since then we are really cautious.
WHAT IS THE BASE OF EGG DROP SOUP?
The way this egg drop soup is made, I have used in our recipe a Bone broth, which I make on a weekly basis. Have always Mason Jars filled in the Freezer. Since our broth was made in an Instant Pot, would it be acceptable to call our recipe Instant Pot egg drop soup? I am not sure.
HOW TO MAKE EGG DROP SOUP WITHOUT BROTH?
Don’t have a freezer full of homemade broth?
Not a problem. Simply use any broth you have on hand. You can also replace it with bouillon or vegetable cubes.
HOW MANY CARBS ARE IN EGG DROP SOUP?
In keto egg drop soup, carbs are almost non-existent.
If lots of vegetables were added in the process of cooking, some traces of carbs might have stayed. But again as I said, they are really non-existent and do not need to be counted for.
And that means you can eat this egg drop soup the whole day. Day after day. How awesome.
HOW CAN YOU FLAVOR KETO EGG DROP SOUP?
As you can see from our recipe card, this is pretty basic egg drop delicious soup. That is exactly the one we love.
Eggs in the soup acts as a no or low carb pasta, so there is not much you might need. But.
Just in case, you would love to experiment a bit and make it more like a Chinese egg drop soup or more flavorful, here are some versions of egg drop soup which can work:
- Keto egg noodles
- Homemade chicken pieces
- Ginger
- Shrimp
- Chilli peppers for spiciness – my favorite

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON THE QUICKEST EASY EGG DROP SOUP
First step: Eggs
First prepare a glass jar or a bowl where you will be able to whisk eggs.
Second step: Whisk Eggs
Pour one to two eggs into the glass container. Using your whisk, beat the eggs until both egg whites and egg yolks are mixed together into a smooth consistency.
For the best egg drop, I would suggest room temperature eggs.
If you do not own a hand whisk, using a fork should do the trick.
Once both of the eggs are whisked, set them aside.
Third step: Broth
Using your stove, pour broth into the cooking pot and bring the soup to boil.
Once the broth is boiled, set the pot over medium high heat.
Fourth step: Pour
Through the fork as you see in the video, slowly pour the egg into the cooking pot.The egg forms a kind of velvet egg flower look in the bowl.
If you wish, you can let the tasty soup cook a bit more. Now you can add extra ingredients mentioned above in the post.
Fifth step: Mix
After all the egg mixture has been gently poured through the fork, mix it all together and separate clumps in case any have occurred.
