Egg Drop Soup - Weight Watcher Style


bowl of vegetarian egg drop soup


Have you ever made homemade egg drop soup? I never did until I found this recipe on  Marilyn's Treats

After making my (adapted version of) Marilyn's recipe, all I have to say is it was - Fast, Easy, and Delicious! 

I served a piping hot bowl to my husband, and he raved about it. He felt it was comparable to soup he eats in the Chinese restaurants. I was surprised because although the soup looked just like restaurant style egg-drop soup,  I knew that this recipe was the Weight Watchers style version and was much lower in calories and fat than the restaurant style egg drop soup.  This recipe does not call for cornstarch or added oils.

The recipe only has 3 ingredients, takes 5 minutes to make, and is really good!
If you want a soup to warm you up on a cool fall or a cold winter night, Pin the recipe for later!

If you are like me and enjoy a good bowl of hot nourishing soup no matter what the season, then make it now and enjoy.

I'm always on the look out for a fast and easy delicious soup. It doesn't get faster or easier than this homemade Chinese Egg Drop Soup. It's made from start to finish in just 5 minutes and the flavor is a match for your favorite Chinese restaurant, but less salty.

It's a simple 3 ingredient soup but packs a lot of punch.

The real plus of this soup recipe is that it is low in calories-
It is just 1 points plus on Weight Watchers.
You can make it to begin a meal and not have to feel guilty.

I have to admit that before I found this recipe, I had never imagined making my own egg drop soup. I have no experience cooking Chinese food. This was really easy. Thanks Marilyn.

As always my recipes are gluten free and vegetarian

    Another Falafel Cracker Recipe with Za'atar ( GF)

    I know I made falafel crackers last week , but this is a totally different recipe. It's lighter and crispier than the previous recipe, so you might want to give these a try.  I had never made crackers before last week, but they are really fast, easy, and fun to make. A batch of these 50 crackers from start to finish took me under 30 minutes ( I didn't count the 15 minutes of chill time). In addition, they are gluten free, dairy free, egg free and delicious. We love falafel and it's interesting spices,  so naturally I knew we would love these tasty falafel flavored crisps. What makes them taste like falafel? The chick pea flour, the sesame seeds, the cumin, the turmeric, the coriander and the spice blend called za'atar. What is za'atar or zahtar? Za'atar is a prepared spice blend that is used in many Middle Eastern countries.Although the recipes might vary, Za'atar may be made of any of the following spices: ground thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, hyssop an...

    Falafel Crackers Anyone?

    This is an interesting gluten free snack idea and entertaining idea !  Can you imagine crackers that taste like falafel! For those of you who have tasted falafel before, you know you are in for a treat. For those who have never had falafel, you will have to trust me on this one. I assure you that the recipe is truly flavorful and is reminiscent of falafel. I found this recipe on a blog called May I Have That Recipe - a delightful blog created by two sisters who post vegetarian, vegan, and kosher recipes. This recipe happens to be gluten free as well - as many of their recipes are; many of their other recipes can be easily adapted to be gluten free. The Flour There are different types of gluten free flours that you can use to make gluten free snacks. This recipe calls for G arbanzo bean flour  ( chick pea flour) which can be found online or in most health food stores or health food isles in the supermarkets. I like this Garbanzo bean flour :  Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo Bean F...
