Simply Savor: Chinese Egg Drop Soup

By Zhimeng Qui, Dietetic Intern

Looking for a comforting soup recipe that can be easily prepared at home? Look no further than Chinese Egg Drop Soup! This savory soup is a perfect blend of flavors and textures, with tender beef (or turkey) and silky egg whites floating in a savory broth. It’s a complete meal on its own and is packed with protein and essential nutrients. For individuals who are experiencing nausea, anemia or require a low fiber diet, Egg Drop Soup may be a good option as it is easy to digest, contains minimal fiber and is rich in iron. This recipe is easy to follow and requires only a few basic ingredients, making it an ideal option for a quick weeknight dinner or a lazy weekend lunch. With its rich and satisfying taste, this soup is sure to become a new favorite in your recipe collection.

Ingredient highlights:

Beef: Beef is recognized as an excellent source of protein and iron. Iron is a vital component of hemoglobin, a protein that aids in transporting oxygen throughout the body. Inadequate iron intake can lead to iron deficiency anemia, resulting in reduced oxygen supply to the body. When consumed in moderation, beef can be a healthy addition to one’s diet, with a recommended upper limit of three 3 ounce portions per week. For those who cannot or choose not to consume beef, ground turkey is a viable alternative for this recipe.


Egg: Eggs are great for various reasons, with one of them being their high protein content for a small serving. Eggs provide vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E and K and many B vitamins as well.

Ingredients: 

  • 0.5 lb lean ground beef or turkey
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tbsp corn startch
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Dash of pepper

Instructions:

  1. Take a large bowl and place the ground beef or turkey in it. Add 1/2 cup of regular water to the beef and mix well. 
  2. Crack the egg on a flat surface. Hold the egg over a small bowl with one hand, and use your other hand to gently open the eggshell in half. Hold the eggshell over the bowl, with the yolk resting in one half.
  3. Gently transfer the yolk from one half of the eggshell to the other, letting the egg white fall into the bowl below. You can do this by tilting the eggshell slightly, or by using your hands or a spoon to transfer the yolk back and forth between the halves of the shell.
  4. After getting the egg whites, heat a pot of water over high heat until it boils.
  5. Once the water is boiling, add the ground beef to the pot and stir.
  6. Add a dash of pepper and 1/2 tsp salt to the soup once it boils again.
  7. Use a spoon or ladle to remove any fat that accumulates on the surface of the liquid.
  8. Create a thickener by combining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a small amount of water.
  9. Add the thickener to the pot slowly while stirring the soup.
  10. When the soup boils again, add the egg whites and keep stirring.
  11. Let the soup simmer until the egg white becomes silky and white.

Notes:

  • You may add scallions or parsley as a garnish if desired
  • Any vegetables of your choice such as celery, broccoli, or carrot can be added to increase fiber intake. You can boil the vegetables in advance, and then add to the soup after the beef is boiled
  • If you want this soup to be a heartier meal, you can also add noodles or rice after the beef is boiled
  • Ground turkey can be used when you do not or cannot eat beef
  • Try to crack eggs in the middle, so that the yolk stays intact

Susan started Savor Health after losing a close friend to a brain tumor and, through that experience, becoming aware of the significant unmet nutritional needs of people with cancer.  Struck by the fact that her friend was told “nutrition doesn’t matter” and “eat whatever you want,” Susan read the evidence-based literature on the subject, interviewed oncologists, oncology nurses and oncology dietitians, as well as patients and caregivers, and found that, in fact, nutrition does matter in oncology. Armed with solid scientific evidence supporting the clinical and quality of life benefits of proper nutrition, Susan left Wall Street and created Savor Health, an AI-based provider of personalized and clinically appropriate nutrition solutions for cancer patients, their caregivers and health enterprises. Susan brings to Savor Health over 25 years of industry experience in healthcare and business as well as expertise in strategy, finance and management.

Susan is an outspoken and tireless advocate for cancer patients receiving proper nutrition and nutrition support before, during and after treatment. She strongly believes that the U. S. healthcare system requires new innovation to transform it into a more holistic and integrated system of care whereby multiple disciplines coordinate care together for the benefit of the whole patient. As part of this, her goal is for nutrition to be an integral component of such an integrated cancer care delivery system.  Susan’s commitment to the field of oncology extends beyond Savor Health to volunteer work at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in pediatrics and as a runner for Fred’s Team to raise money for research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Susan participated in the Cancer Moonshot in June of 2016 where she was a breakout session group “igniter” tasked with starting and leading discussion. Susan’s first book, the Meals to Heal Cancer Cookbook, was published in March 2016.

In addition to her role as CEO of Savor Health, Susan speaks nationally about the importance of ensuring proper nutrition in the cancer patient and on topics including leadership and startups. She has been a speaker at the Harvard Medical School’s Career Advancement and Leadership Skills for Women in Healthcare, ESMO World Congress on GI Cancer, BioPharm America, AARP Live @50+, Lake Nona Impact Forum, and IIR ePharma Summit.

Prior to starting Savor Health, Susan had a successful career on Wall Street as a healthcare services investment banker working at prestigious firms including Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Wasserstein Perella and Robertson Stephens. Susan earned a B.A. from Duke University and M.B.A. from the University of Virginia’s Darden Graduate School of Business.
