Eggs are a super nutritious food for kids and adults alike, a fact which many fussy toddlers refuse to accept! While there are a range of egg recipes for babies and toddlers that can be easily made, some kids may still reject them. However, we have a solution. If your toddler is making a fuss about eating egg, here is an easy way to do it – with a warming Egg Drop Soup that’s perfect for winters! Egg drop soup can serve as a quick, satisfying and comfort food for your little one. This healthy soup can be given to babies above 1 year of age, since both the egg white and yolk are used in the recipe.

1. Whisk the egg in a bowl and keep it ready.

2. Heat a sauce pan. Add oil to it. Add ginger and saute for few seconds.

3. Add finely chopped spring onion. Saute for a minute or so.

4. Now add the vegetable or chicken stock / broth . You may use water if you do not have any of the broth ready at hand. Allow it to boil. Season with black pepper and salt.

5. Now place a fork at the mouth of the bowl in which we have whisked the egg. Drop the egg from a height through the fork slowly in portions to the boiling soup, while continuously stirring it with a spoon. This is to get fine threads as far as possible, as kids wont like large lumps of egg in the soup.

6. Allow it to boil and cook for 4-5 minutes.

7. Serve warm. Do not store it for further use.

Chicken broth or vegetable broth makes the soup all the more nutritious and wholesome. Vegetables of your choice can also be added in this soup; here I’ve used vegetable broth. Limit the use of salt for your little one and you have a perfect meal for lunch or dinner this winter!
