Egg drop soup was a soup from Earth. It was a Chinese dish.

When asked in 2151 what he thought of his visit to Earth, Denobulan doctor Phlox believed that Human anatomy was simplistic. However, he felt that Humans made up for this with their optimism and their egg drop soup. (ENT: "Broken Bow")

Following the return from the Xindi mission in 2154, Hoshi Sato had plans to go to Madame Chang's Mandarin Cafe with Phlox so to finally sample the egg drop soup there, after having heard Phlox talk about the soup for as long as she had known him. (ENT: "Home")

The Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 229 described this Chinese dish as a "food made from beaten chicken ova cooked in a savory broth, seasoned and prepared in the culinary style of the Earth nation of China."
