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

    What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

    [Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t

    What is Angioplasty and Stenting ?

    [Extracted from www.vascular.co.nz] An angioplasty is a procedure where a balloon is passed into your artery on the end of a tube (catheter) and is inflated (blown up) to treat a narrowed or blocked artery. The initiator of this technique was Charles Dotter , a radiologist in Oregon who started this work in 1964. The angioplasty technique means that surgery may be avoided in many cases. There are two techniques for performing angioplasty - transluminal and subintimal. In the transluminal technique the balloon is placed in the centre of the artery (in the lumen) where blood would normally flow. In subintimal angioplasty ( Bolia, 1989) the balloon is intentionally placed within the layers of the arterial wall. As far as the patient is concerned, angioplasty is very similar to an angiogram except that a slightly bigger catheter is used and therefore the risks of bleeding are slightly greater. For

    What is Down Syndrome and its Causes ?

    [Extracted from the webpage of  "Downsyndrome.about.com"] Down syndrome is caused by an extra number 21 chromosome. But what does this really mean ? To really understand what causes Down syndrome, you need to have a thorough understanding of what chromosomes are, and what they do. Genetic Information The easiest way to think of chromosomes is as packages of genetic information. The human body is made up of all different types of cells and inside each of these cells are our genes. Genes are the units of inheritance that are passed from one generation to another. They are located in every cell of our bodies and they provide the instructions for every structure and function of our body. Humans have about 25,000 different genes. Rather than having all 25,000 bouncing around inside cells individually, our genes are located or packaged on chromosomes rather like pearls on a necklace. Genes Genes are made of DNA which is a molecule made up of four different chemicals cal
