How to Make 20 Minute Egg Drop Chili

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

  3. Stir in kidney beans (or pinto beans), diced tomatoes (undrained), chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk eggs lightly until yolks and whites are just combined.
  6. Remove chili from heat. Slowly drizzle in the whisked eggs while stirring constantly with a whisk to create a creamy texture.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
