I've tried a lot of Egg Drop Soup recipes and this one is, hands down, the best one I've found.

EGG DROP SOUP
1 cup chicken broth
• ¼ teaspoon soy sauce
• ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons water (Optional)
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (Optional)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 drop yellow food coloring (Optional)
• ½ teaspoon ground white pepper (Optional)
• ⅛ teaspoon salt (Optional)
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
Directions
1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil.
3. Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved; pour into boiling broth. Stir in food coloring.
4. Slowly pour in beaten egg, stirring constantly; season with white pepper and salt.
5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives. Enjoy!
6. Add ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric to achieve a yellow color instead of food coloring.
