Pickle Drop Soup

I'm going for something like Egg Drop / Hot Sour Soup. Let's see how close I get.

• 1 Can Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup
• Only the best will do.
• 1 Can of Water
• As per the instructions.
• Hot Red Pepper Flakes
• Exactly how much, I never shall tell.
• But I probably did not use enough.
• 2 teaspoons Corn Starch
• It's not nearly enough.
• But I've not used Corn Starch very often, so I don't want to push it.
• ½ Cup Pickle Juice
• It might be a bit much.
• This is for the sour.
• 3 Eggs
• Shaken in a jar.
• This is to turn the dish into a meal.

I brought the lot to boil; added the Corn Starch (quite unprofessionally; I might add); brought the lot to boil again; and finally, drizzled in the eggs.



Now, that's some tasty stuff.

The Pickle Juice carried the day. So, maybe I used too much. But it is what it is.

Also, I'd pour the Eggs in faster next time and use more Corn Starch if I wanted it thicker... or just puree the noodles, first.

All in all this was a winner, even if it was nothing like Hot Sour Soup, which is really what I was hoping for.

I should probably read a recipe or something.
