We love this simple egg drop soup just the way it is, made up of just five ingredients, that can be ready in 20 minutes using three simple steps. You can stir in a handful or two of watercress or tofu to increase the bulk or texture of the soup. Thai curry paste (which is a blend of chiles, garlic, onion, lemongrass, ginger, cumin, coriander, fish sauce, and spices) is a staple in Thai cuisine, look for it in the ethnic section of your supermarket.
