I usually add red onions (quartered) before adding the eggs and last of all add fresh cut tomatoes. Soup is very tasty with the addition of these ingredients. Try it and you'll love it. Maureen

i FOR ONE LOVE EGG DROP SOUP ,, BUT I HAVE VARIATIONS ,i DON'T USE SESAME OIL AS IT IS EXPENSIVE. I USE BULLION CUBES ABOUT 3, CHEAPER THAN BROTH , SAME EFFECT AND HIGHLY CONCENTRATED,SOY SAUCE, HAVE NEVER USED ONIONS BUT i LOVE CELERY IN IT AND I'VE EVEN CUBED A FEW POTATOES IN IT FOR SUBSTANCE, AND I DON'T STIR THE BEATEN EGGS UNTIL THEY ARE COMPLETELY DONE WHICH IS ABOUT 1 1/2 MINUTES. i USE THIS RECIPE MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM SICK AND IN NO TIME THAT GOLDEN EGG TAKES AWAY MY ILLNESS. Also I cook my celery and potatoes down with the bullion cubes while they dissolve because it takes both about the same amout of time to cook about 15-20 minutes. And color with a little yellow food color. Then Flavor to taste, mmmm good.
