A comforting and silky egg drop soup with a unique twist of subtle strawberry rose syrup, blending traditional savory flavors with a delicate floral sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (960 ml) chicken or vegetable broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or half-and-half (use coconut milk for dairy-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground white pepper (or black pepper)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon cold water or broth
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry rose syrup
  • Optional garnishes: thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, fresh edible rose petals

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon cold water or broth, and whisk gently until combined but not frothy. Set aside. Mince garlic and grate ginger if using.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat (about 5 minutes).
  4. Once simmering, stir in the milk or half-and-half. Keep the heat low so the broth stays warm but doesn’t boil.
  5. Add salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Slowly pour the beaten eggs in a thin stream into the simmering broth while stirring gently in one direction with a slotted spoon or chopsticks to create delicate egg ribbons. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove the pot from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of strawberry rose syrup gently, just enough to swirl through the soup without overpowering.
  8. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or syrup if desired. Add a splash of broth or milk if the soup is too thick.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and edible rose petals.

Notes

Keep broth warm, not boiling, when adding eggs to avoid clumping. Pour eggs slowly and stir gently in one direction for tender egg ribbons. Add strawberry rose syrup at the end to preserve its delicate flavor. Use room temperature eggs for best texture. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently.
