💡Tips

1. Slice The Mushrooms Thin

When you’re preparing the mushrooms, try to slice them as thinly as possible. This isn’t just for looks – thin slices cook faster and more evenly in the soup. They’ll also be easier to eat and will spread the mushroom flavor throughout the broth better. 

2. Watch The Heat

When you’re simmering the soup, keep an eye on the heat. You want a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. If the heat is too high, your soup might reduce too much and become too salty.

Plus, when you add the eggs, they’ll cook too quickly and might become tough. A gentle simmer is just right – you should see small bubbles breaking the surface, but the soup shouldn’t be churning.

3. Let It Rest, But Not Too Long

Letting the soup sit for a minute or two allows the flavors to meld together and the temperature to even out. However, don’t wait too long – egg drop soup is best served hot. If it sits for too long, the eggs can start to overcook and become rubbery. 

FAQ

1. What kind of mushrooms should I use?

Button mushrooms or cremini (baby bella) mushrooms work great and are easy to find. If you want a fancier version, you could use shiitake mushrooms for a more intense flavor.

Whichever type you choose, make sure to slice them thinly so they cook evenly in the soup. 

2. What can I use instead of soy sauce?

If you don’t have soy sauce or can’t eat it, there are a few alternatives. Coconut aminos is a popular soy-free alternative that’s also low in carbs. Tamari is another option if you’re avoiding gluten but can have soy.

3. How can I make this soup more filling?

If you want a heartier soup, there are a few keto-friendly ways to bulk it up. You could add some cooked, shredded chicken for extra protein.  Another idea is to serve the soup with a side of keto-friendly crackers or a small keto bread roll.
