This egg drop soup makes a great appetizer for an Asian-inspired menu!

The secret to a good egg drop soup is in the broth. Our Bok Choy Egg Drop Soup recipe starts with a rich, savory broth using vegetables, herbs, and spices. After simmering for hours to develop those rich flavors, we then added bok choy for essential vitamins and nutrients. Egg whites keep this soup skinny, while fragrant chopped herbs add freshness. Best of all, it can be started in the slow cooker in the morning and finished when you get home in the evening!

This egg drop soup makes a great appetizer for an Asian-inspired menu, but you could also add shredded chicken if you wanted to make it a hearty meal.

  • 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
  • pinch kosher or sea salt more or less to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 4 cups vegetable broth low-sodium
  • 2 tablespoons lite soy sauce
  • 4 cups bok choy chopped, loosely packed
