I dont think there is actually any "flower" in the soup, so why the strange name?
What is the "flower" part of Egg Flower Soup?
You're right DSK, there is no actual flower, but, when the egg is beaten in it resembles a chrysanthemum.

Reply:Egg-Flower Soup
One of the simplest soups to make, egg-flower complements nearly any menu. Once the stock simmers, assembling the soup takes only 30 seconds.
4 cups chicken stock
6 slices fresh ginger
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Add ginger to stock; bring to a boil. When boiling, discard ginger and season stock to taste with salt and pepper. Add green onions and peas. Pour eggs over surface of soup, allow to set for a few seconds, then use long chopsticks to stir briskly, creating tender "egg flowers." Serve immediately, before the eggs toughen. Serves 6 with other dishes.
