Egg Drop Soup

avbliss · July 2009

DH and I got Chinese food tonight and I had Egg Drop Soup. Now I have no idea how this is made, so I'm now wondering if it's completely cooked or is anything raw? And if part of it is raw is it even safe for me to eat? Please no flaming, I just honestly don't know. I got a quart of it so I want to know if I should eat the rest or not. I figured it would be a good source of protein and omega 3's.

The idea behind egg drop soup is that it instantly cooks the egg when the egg enters the soup. Egg cooks SUPER fast when it's hot. You should be ok

?If you still feel nervous, pop it in the microwave for like 30 seconds and it will be fine.?

raw eggs on their own are not a problem unless of course that particular egg has salmonella in it so just like lunch meat etc...there would be a tiny risk. but like pp said the egg is cooked or most definitely nearly fully cooked in egg drop soup meaning no risk. enjoy it!
