Egg drop soup is a Chinese soup of wispy beaten eggs in chicken broth. Condiments such as black or white pepper, and finely chopped scallions and tofu are optional, but commonly added to the soup.

Yes. It’s very low calorie and packed with protein. One bowl of soup (about 1 cup) is only 71 calories.
