You've definitely earned a cookie, Lee.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I think I should get a cookie.
Eat it in front of the co-worker.
ION, I made egg drop soup from scratch! I feel like a god.

I was stunned at how easy it is. I will never buy egg drop soup again. (Unless I'm getting other Chinese food. In which case I probably will.)

I still haven't tried. I have heard that there is not insignificant danger of ending up with soup + scrambled egg, but that doesn't sound too bad, really. I would try right now (I want to feel like a god!) but I ate the last of my broth for lunch. Oh, maybe with bouillon?

I have heard that there is not insignificant danger of ending up with soup + scrambled egg
Here's what I did, and it avoided scrambled egg:
*4 cups of chicken broth (which I made from bouillon that's both vegan and GF [and yet tastes EXACTLY like chicken...I suspect dark magics])
*keep 3/4 to 1 cup of the broth in a bowl, and mix it with 2-3 Tbsp cornstarch (based on how thick you want the soup)
*put the other 3-ish cups of broth in a saucepan, add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp powdered ginger; bring all that to a boil
*mix the cornstarch/broth mixture in the boiling broth
*beat 2-3 eggs (depending on how much egg you like) with a fork and then let the beaten egg drizzle off the tines of the fork into the broth
It's the drizzling that creates the ribbon effect. I did pour a little egg straight from the bowl into the broth because I wanted some big egg pieces, but it did basically turn out like restaurant soup, with long skinny egg ribbon pieces. Next time I make it I'm going to add garlic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'll do just an egg in broth when I'm sick, ribbony like that, but only two steps!

I like the thick texture, so I don't mind the cornstarch steps. Still super easy! Also not as fluorescent yellow as restaurant soup. Maybe I need to add food coloring!

You inspired me, Tep!
I did arrowroot instead of corn starch and poured the egg directly from the measuring cup I beat it in rather than drizzling of a fork, but I whisked the broth with a fork while I poured. Some ribbons, some bigger pieces. I might like the bigger pieces more?
I used TJ's Savory Turkey Broth in a pouch, because it was handy. The kosher-for-passover chicken-style powdered broth (I think the brand is Osem) I have also has no chicken in it. I cannot tell. In my memory, it's pretty yellow, but I'll have to make it again to confirm.
