Anyone have a recipe for making this that tastes like the kind you get
from a chinese place? Yes, I did google and got a whole bunch of recipes
- some of which seem to include things I wouldn`t expect. . The egg drop
I used to get seemed pretty simple just a rich broth and the eggs. I
tried making with canned chicken broth at home and it wasn`t nearly as
good. Some of the recipes called for either flour or cornstarch - is
that what I`m missing?

I use arrowroot or cornstarch for thickening, but that does not add
flavor, just texture.

I make a rather complex one but it tastes like _my_ eggdrop soup, not
the stuff from the place I usually get buffet. Theirs is rather bland.

If you are looking for "that" chinese flavor, carefully add a bit of
Oyster sauce.
