Egg Drop soup noodles

Any soup can be made into egg drop soup.  Egg drops take the place of noodles really well without upping the carb counts at all.  Just make your soup as you normally would, then in a separate bowl beat 3-6 eggs depending on how much "drop" you want in your soup.

Once you are done, make sure your soup is at a good boil  Stir your soup to get it spinning in the pot.  Very slowly, in a thin stream, pour the egg into the spinning soup.  The "drop" cooks pretty much instantly and you look like a very impressive chef!
