I love egg drop soup Guts.
This sounds perfect!

Normally I make it using ramen noodle soup and swirling in the beaten eggs, then adding a touch of soy sauce and a splash of sesame oil.

Bravo! Love it!

This is the only pic I could find where I used an instant ramen noodle bowl-
It makes for a quick, delicious lunch, but the eggs tend to get lost amongst the noodles!

I think two eggs for the amount of broth I use is pushing the limit on egg. but it works. don't think I have ever had noodles in egg drop soup before. I will have to give it a try.

Looking at that glorious pic of your soup sure looks like the 2 eggs work fabulous!
It's gorgeous with all the eggy pieces swimming around. ;)
 
Yum! Love egg drop soup. Great pic & plate, Guts. You must have read my mind. I'm planning on trying this Italian Egg Drop soup (similar to Stracciatella) tonight or tomorrow.

Italian Egg-Drop Soup

6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1 1/3 cups medium pasta shells or other small pasta
1 7-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
1 bunch scallions, sliced, whites and greens divided
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3 cups chopped arugula, any tough stems removed
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Combine broth, water, pasta, chickpeas, scallion whites and nutmeg in a Dutch oven; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover and boil for half as long as directed by the pasta package, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in arugula and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. While stirring the soup constantly, slowly add eggs; cook for 2 minutes. (The cooked egg will look like feathery strands.) Season with pepper and stir in the scallion greens and lemon juice. Ladle into 6 bowls and top with Parmesan.
