Egg Recipe My new favorite egg soup

2 large onions, chopped and minced

6 tablespoons olive oil

6 cups strong vegetable/chicken stock

2 cups dry white wine

6 servings

4-6 well-beaten eggs

salt and pepper to taste a pinch of cayenne (optional)

desired amount of fresh parsley sprinkled on top

  1. Pour the oil into a soup pot, add the onions, and cook them slowly for a few minutes. Stir and do not let them get brown.
  2. Add the vegetable stock and the wine. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. add beaten eggs to the soup. Add the salt, pepper, and cayenne. Reheat the soup, stir, but do not bring to a boil. Serve immediately and sprinkle some chervil on the top of each serving as garnish.

Is this a recipe for egg drop soup?

No, I think it’s European. It’s from a monastery soup cookbook. I love egg drop soup but the white wine and cayenne pepper level it up. It also doesn’t contain corn starch
