Instructions

Add the chicken broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic powder, and turmeric in a large sauce pot. Whisk well. Then turn the heat on high and bring to a boil.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs well. Then stir the soup base to get it swirling and slowly pour the eggs into the soup. The eggs swirling into the soup will create ribbons of egg. Turn off the heat.
Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve as-is, or garnish with chopped green onions, and crunchy Chinese noodles.

Notes

Wonton Egg Drop Soup? Yes, you can make a simple version of Wonton Egg Drop Soup by buying frozen wontons (or dumplings) at the grocery store. Once the soup is ready, drop the frozen wontons in the hot soup and let them steep for 5 minutes to heat through.
You can store egg drop soup leftovers for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge, and is delicious reheated for a quick lunch or light dinner.
I do not recommend freezing this soup.
