Egg Drop Soup
This simple soup is a great start to a big meal. Made with chicken broth and eggs, it gives a 'noodle' feel without the carbs.
Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon tumeric powdered, dried, optional for color
- 1 pinch pepper black or white
- 3 green onions
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, heat broth over medium heat to a simmer.
-
As the broth comes to a simmer, whisk eggs, pepper, and turmeric with a fork in a small bowl or cup.
-
Once the broth is simmering, lower the heat to medium-low. Use a fork or a whisk to briskly whisk the broth in a circular pattern with one hand. With the other hand, slowly pour in the egg mixture, creating a thin stream (like pouring milk into coffee) that you whisk as it goes into the broth.
-
Once all the egg mixture is whisked in, stop whisking and allow to continue to cook until egg is cooked through, about another minute.
-
Top with optional sliced green onions and serve.
